Hello actionparsnip

earlier I went to sources centre and removed notifaction line

abraham@abraham-laptop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jconti-recent-notifications-precise.list
nt-notifications/ubuntu precise main # disabled on upgrade to precise
abraham@abraham-laptop:~$

I cant access software centre....it appears momentarily and disappears plus I removed synaptic and also when I select update manager it shows message in front of it saying unresolvable problem or words to that effect
thanks
John
