Software Centre - initial dialogue box disappears by itself, and error message appears

[Ken T]

Freshly-installed i386 version of Lubuntu daily build downloaded last night.

I went into System Tools > Software, and was greeted with an initial welcome screen / dialogue box that read "Let's Go Shopping!" (among other bits I didn't get a chance to read, and it had an OK / Proceed button or similar). Before I had a chance to read all this or click the button, that window disappeared, leaving me with the main Software Centre interface, but with the error message "Sorry, something went wrong", along with an "X" to dismiss that message. This error message appeared directly beneath the All / Installed / Updates buttons at the top of the screen.

At the time this happened, I was online via a solid mobile broadband (aka cellular broadband) connection.

Thanks,
Ken.

Hi Simon,

I don't understand your response - I saw this bug on the freshest daily build that I downloaded less than 24hours ago. Unless you mean that a patch has been submitted / implemented since then?

Thanks,
Ken.

Issue no longer evident in lubuntu 18.04 beta 2, at least in live session.

Thanks,
Ken.
