I had a problem with my mini install of ubuntu 10.10. Have got it fixxed. But still can't open ubuntu software center

Asked by oocevin

I had a problem opening synaptic package and it was fixed by doing this:

sudo gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gksu/sudo-mode true

But I found out I can not open ubuntu software center. I reinstalled.

No good. I'm going to try deleting it and reinstalling it.

Before to reinstall (usually the last thing to do) please check the packages status open a terminal and type:

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

than please run the software-center from terminal to see errors and warning, still from terminal type:

software-center
