Hi Lesha, and thank you for your bug report. This issue has actually been reported earlier in bug 891499, so I will mark this one as a duplicate of that. Per the other report, it seems that a local cache file that Software Center uses has become corrupted and that is causing this issue. First, so that we can take a look at the file to see exactly what went wrong, could you please attache the following file to bug 891499?: /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p After you've done that, you can restore normal Software Center operation as follows. Please shut down Software Center (if it is running) and type the following command into a terminal window to delete the corrupted file: $ sudo rm /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p After this, Software Center should start normally. Please let us know if it does not, or if have you any further problems. Thank you again! ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 891499 Software Center not start, infinite loading -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893245 Title: software center didn't run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/893245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
