Ubuntu Software package won't run

[Chris Jensen]

I have had a problem with this since I installed version 16.04 LTS. I have tried different ways of fixing it from AskUbuntu installed, reinstalled, installed lubuntu software, reinstalled, uninstalled lubuntu, installed Ubuntu Software Center which worked, but from what I have gathered this is the old version. I am fairly new to linux but have done quite a few things that I have learned from. I tried out Fedora but wondered what takes up so much space when there are not many apps, so wiped it out. The hard drive I am using is 320GB, and have one NTFS partition as primary and the other two are logical ext/sda #. Anyway I have three operating systems on this machine. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Kali Rolling, and Windows 7. Had a few glitches ironed them out but now I am wondering if Kali is causing this problem? They are both Debian? What could be conflicting if anything....your help would be greatly appreciated!
