[xubuntu-users] new install of xubuntu 13.10 can't run ubuntu software center

[Benjamin Shadwick]

Two things to try:

First, try running software-center from a terminal window and see if there
are any useful error messages.


If that doesn't help, try reinstalling software-center:

sudo apt-get purge software-center
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop


You can also try using synaptic as an alternative to software-center.
