Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

When i run software-center window comes up but nothing else inside the window comes .. Initially I ran software-center from terminal and it used to print some error about dbus repeatedly..
from ~/.cache/software-center
2011-05-06 16:16:15,496 - dbus.connection - ERROR - Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/dbus/connection.py", line 214, in maybe_handle_message
    self._handler(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/dbus/bus.py", line 71, in signal_cb
    callback(new_owner)

    message, timeout)
DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

 then i apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade .. and now if i run software-center no error comes on the term but still nothing shows in the window .. i can although close the window from menu after which it asked me to force quit it .. and one more thing I have noticed is that after I force quit software-center update-software shows up in my processes .. also aptd process start taking up cpu time ..

No, it's not your fault, I have asked because a similar bug has already been reported by another user, and wanted to verify whether this is the same one. As you have said, this seems to be the same, so I am marking this as the duplicate of bug #778158. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
