software center fails to respond after opening

[Ian Ross]

Binary package hint: software-center

After having upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 - LTS , as I previously stated the software center fails to respond. Also the synaptic package manager is found under in two menus: the first is in applications/system tools/, and displays this message when opening-

Starting without administrative privileges

You will not be able to apply any changes. But you can still export the marked changes or create a download script for them.

And so to this extent, it appears operational; the second place synaptic is found is system/administration/ and appears fully functional. However, I have not yet attempted to actually use the later of the two, as this is a beta release and so I'm cautious. I will experiment with it and attempt to install another add-remove program, try to uninstall and reinstall ubuntu software center and synapitic as well. Ill keep you posted.

Over all, the system seems quite stable, fast, and clean: I am running an Asus P4B 1.9 Ghz with 624 mb ram, it boots and runs fast. I'm doing an upgrade right now on an old asus 600 mhz with 372 mb of ram its going well - it worked great on 9.10 and I'm sure it will work great on 10.04-stable release. Good work people!

Thanks for taking time to report this bug and help make ubuntu better. Can you please confirm if this is still an issue. Now in Lucid there is only one synaptic entry (that was a bug).
