>,... then follow Gary's instructions above. ... I found no instructions above !! (or below either). ??? I am still without the software center ... I will be leaving this desktop computer in a few weeks and will be going to Florida for the winter where my computer runs a Gnome desktop ... and when I get back up North I plan on having a new computer built and will install Ubuntu with a Gnome desktop which I like better than Unity. None the less I would appreciate help in getting my software center back on this computer -- which I will keep as a spare computer. -Richard On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 5:06 AM, Matthew Paul Thomas wrote: > Richard, click the "Dash Home" button, which is at the very top of the > Launcher.

Richard, click the "Dash Home" button, which is at the very top of the Launcher. In the search field that appears, type "terminal". Choose the Terminal application, then follow Gary's instructions above. Thanks. (Unfortunately there is no easy way to re-add an application to the Launcher if it crashes on launch. Once it stays running, though, you can right-click on it in the Launcher and choose "Lock to Launcher".) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055748 Title: In Unity desktop the Software Center App starts but then disappears after a few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1055748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1055748] Re: In Unity desktop the Software Center App starts but then disappears after a few seconds
In my attempt to recover I seem to have deleted the icon for software-center in the left side menu of Unity. I went up to the dashboard thingy and tried to get it there.But it didn't show. I am kind of new to Ubuntu and Linux and do not know how to get to the program files directory or how to make a shortcut for the programs I find there even if I succeed in getting there. Please send me directions on how I can get its icon back onto the left side menu.Then I will try to reproduce the problem and send you the log file. Thank you for the prompt reply. Down in my computer down in Florida where I spent the winter I have Gnome NOT Unity and I like that better and find it easier to work with than Unity. I use Software Center in Unity quite often and am a little frustrated without it. *-Richard* On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 6:20 PM, Gary Lasker wrote: > Hi Richard, and thank you for your bug report.

Hi Richard, and thank you for your bug report. So that we can try to gather more information to help us to debug this issue, could you please try running Software Center in debug mode from a terminal window as follows: $ software-center --debug 2> /tmp/software-center-debug.log Then follow the steps to reproduce the issue, and finally attach the file /tmp/software-center-debug.log to this bug report. Thanks! Your help is much appreciated! ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055748 Title: In Unity desktop the Software Center App starts but then disappears after a few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1055748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
