Ubuntu Software Center error and no updates

Asked by Seth Neal

I am using 12.04.1. When I try to open the software center I geta pop up box saying it won't open and that I need to send an error report. When you do this it says it cannot find the package file. Also there is symbol on the top right of my screen that looks like the yield sign that says "An error occured, please run package manager from the right-click menu". I am not sure what menu that is. I am new to Unbuntu. If someone could please help that would be great. Thank you.

Hello,

please open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and issue the following commands one by one. (Copy-Paste the commands from here to terminal)

    wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/w8nw83qjw2khl08/fixpackage" -O ~/fixpackage
    wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/btvmwk3r6smw1y2/Software-Center-fix" -O ~/softwarecenterfix
    chmod +x fixpackage
    chmod +x softwarecenterfix
    sudo ./fixpackage
    sudo ./softwarecenterfix

Command(s) prefixed with sudo, will ask for your password. Write it carefully because nothing will show up (like no writing).

Regards
 NikTh
