'Ubuntu Software' not opening

What is the output of:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks

I am a Windows user and new to Ubuntu. I am not familiar with Linux commands. Is there any way out to resolve the issue?

You don't need to be familiar. Just copy and paste each command in turn and hit ENTER. There will be no feedback as you type your password

You said you are new to Ubuntu. Please check site below, on how to use the terminal. If you already know how, please disregard this.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/38162/what-is-a-terminal-and-how-do-i-open-and-use-it

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I ran the above commands in c-terminal. But, do not know how to send you the output. I am unable to copy and paste the output here. Please help me.

Thanks

Use the terminal window's menu entries "edit - select all" and "edit - copy", and then paste everything back into this question document.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Please run all three commands again, and then use copy/paste that we can see all output.

Ok, well done.
You output shows that the package management is in a consistent status.

Now try the following:
open a terminal window and issue the command

gnome-software

What happens? Does another window open? Do you get output in the terminal window? If yes, please copy/paste it as done before.

OK, run:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

That will clear those packages that are no longer required.

Does the Ubuntu Software application run OK after that?

Thank you Manfred. Nothing happened. The cursor just jumped to the next
line and stayed there. The following is the output I got:

mcm@mcm-G31M-S2L:~$ gnome-software

Try the following:

Open a terminal window and issue the commands

gnome-software --version
gnome-software --quit
gnome-software

and copy/paste all output. Furthermore tell what else there is happening on your system (there should either be a new window be opened with the ubuntu software application, or an error message be shown in your terminal window).

The terminal output is:

gnome-software --quit
gnome-software

The terminal displays version (3.22.7) but is is appearing while pasting. Nothing else is happening except this. No error message in my terminal window.

Please provide the full output as shown on your screen.

Sorry, but I do not understand "but is is appearing while pasting". What do you want to tell?

/(mcm@mcm-G31M-S2L:-$ gnome-software version/

gnome-software 3.22.7)

gnome-software --quit

/(the cursor hangs here)/

*Note: The output in brackets and slanted letters is not in paste up on
this reply, but was there on terminal. It is written manually as in the
terminal.**

Sorry, but as long as you do not show the output as it is on screen, I cannot help further.
