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

[florin]

Today I experienced this bug, too. Can't tell what I did to get it, but
it was here all right. Just as others said, it was the blank application
window, running it from command line showed no error and for me running
"killall software-center" made it work again. For now. If I get it
again, I'll also upload the log file.

  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!).
