ach. nevermind. The logfile/traceback is misleading. It appears that somehow /home/mark/.cache/software-center/ had its ownership changed to root:root. changing it back to mark:mark (My username) solved the problem. This was a fresh install of ubuntu as of yesterday. Perhaps the default permissions are wrong? More testing is required on my end. -- software-center crashed with IOError in _open() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
