1) Launch software-center from the unity launcher
2)U-S-C opens for a few brief seconds
3)Watch U-S-C crash instantly before your eyes

Long standing bug that still seems quite prevalent only weeks before final. Running sudo via command line seems to work just fine. This doesn't seem like something a new user should do to access an application catered to a new/casual user. Especially from an application that is installed default in the unity launcher.
