I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04LTS of ubuntu on July 29th, i installed it on
my laptop and than ran update manager and installed all updates. After
running updates the software center will not open.

It gave the following error:


<!--
File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 40, in <module>
    import softwarecenter.log
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/log.py", line 119, in <module>
    logfile_path, maxBytes=100 * 1000, backupCount=5)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 118, in __init__
    BaseRotatingHandler.__init__(self, filename, mode, encoding, delay)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 65, in __init__
    logging.FileHandler.__init__(self, filename, mode, encoding, delay)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 897, in __init__
    StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 916, in _open
    stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: 
'/home/shaq/.cache/software-center/software-center.log'
-->

To fix this issue

I  Rename that log file
from
*.log to *.log.invalid
then run software center again
if that works then you can delete the old log file, if it doesn't then change 
the name back
