"I cannot open the Ubuntu Software center." What happens if you try? Is there an error message? If yes, please provide its full text!

Dear Manfred Hampl,

The error message that pops up as I log in says
       System program problem detected.
Do you want to report the problem, now.
        Cancel Report problem

It appears again as soon as the desktop opens and then again. It also
appears when I open my Chromium browser as soon as my desktop opens.

Nothing happens when I click on the icon for the Ubuntu Software Center

My problem with Libre Office Writer has disappeared.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

God bless,
Nigel Fitt

For the problem with Software Center:
Please open a terminal and issue the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and copy/paste all output into this question document.

I copied and pasted your text int to the Termianl at the prompt,
yesterday. Then I had to enter a password. The Terminal would not accept
my password.

I tried again, today. My copy- paste function does not work any more in
every program that I use. The Terminal opens with the text, below.
nigel@nigel-G41M-ES2L:a squiggle that I cannot find on my keyboard$

I typed your text above in to the Terminal. I could not put it on 4
lines. After entering the test I pressed enter. The text, below appeared.
uname: invalid option - - 'c'
Try 'uname - -help' for more information
nigel@nigel-G41M-ES2L a sqiggle$

Am I supposed to put a description of my problem into the Terminal window?

God bless,
Nigel Fitt

You have to open a terminal window, e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t
Then please mark the fist command with pressed mouse button that it is shown in reverse color.
Switch to the terminal window and press the middle mouse button.
This should paste the command into the terminal window.
Press "enter" to execute the command.
Please repeat with the other three commands.

When hitting Enter for the thirs command, you most probably will receive a request to enter your password as confirmation of an administrative task. Just enter your password, but notice, that you will not get any feedback on the screen (no echo, not even '*' placeholders). Just "blind" type your password and press Enter.

Finally use the terminal window's menu entries "Edit - Select all" and "Edit - Copy" to copy all output, switch to this Launchpad question document and paste everything into the Message: box and click on "I still need help" button.

What is the output of :

sudo apt-get update

Thanks

My problem with my software updater. an error message appearing after boot up and my problem in Libre Office Writer is solved.

An I.T. Specialist visited me. He found a corrupt file in the software updater. I was using v 14.04 of Ubuntu when I had the problem. Now I have Ubuntu 14.10LTS

Thank you.

Ubuntu 14.10 isn't an LTS release. It's support ends in July 2015.
