Hi Jonathan, thanks for your bug report. It appears that your softwarecenter.cfg file is strangely corrupted and that is causing the startup error that you are seeing.
The simplest fix is for you to just delete the file. It is safe to do this as this file only stores UI state (window size, open/close state of the left pane expanders, etc.). It will be recreated on next run of Software Center. To delete the file, just type the following at the command line: $ rm ~/.config/software-center/softwarecenter.cfg Software Center should now start correctly. ** Visibility changed to: Public -- software-center crashed with '<?xml version="1.0"?>\n' in _read() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662414 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
