[Bug 772549] Re: software-center blank screen on fresh natty 11.04 install

[Dustin Godec]

I am experiencing this bug also - with the blank window up I did the
following in a terminal:

dgodec at Dimension-4600:/usr/share/themes/Orta$ killall software-center
dgodec at Dimension-4600:/usr/share/themes/Orta$ software-center

The workaround solved it temporarily  -  I will continue to run the app via terminal so I can post output when it is re-created.

  I just installed ubuntu natty 11.04 on my machine.

  I tried to install 4 apps with software center (7zip, vlc, flash and
  restricted-extra), and software center freezed.

  I closed it, restarted it, and the problems began... Now if I open it
  it just doesn't show anything (see screenshot).

  WORKAROUND: Reboot your computer. After that, Software Center should
  launch normally (if it does not, please also report that here,
  thanks!).
