Can you close software centre, then give the output of:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Thanks

No, we want the OUTPUT. READ the words I used. I wanted the actual output, not an interpretation

no it doesn't, on the dashboard on the right you see the logos you cannot tell what logo you looking not until you click on more before you know the software you want to install. before when you to software centre and click Internet you would see the list you cal read from the logo but now only logo the when you click on the logo and to more info you can now see what you want to do

Cool, then run:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop

Change:
Exec=/usr/bin/software-center %u
To:
Exec=gksudo /usr/bin/software-center %u

Save the new file and close gedit, should be ok now
