I am using ubuntu 11.10 version .. when I try to open the ubuntu software center it opens but gives me a blank screen and nothing shows up , before this happens it used to open normally but I couldn't install or upgrade anything from it as an error used to pop up that I have to remove something and it also refused to remove it ! so please I need a solution for this .

  • open up a terminal and launch `software-center` from there. Hopefully, you will see some error output. Either that will already help you solving your problem or you can paste it here. – onse Sep 15 '13 at 22:01

Try reinstalling it. Try this instead:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. type sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center

Do not try opening it from terminal. You're just doing more work.

I had this problem many times and I tried doing so many things and none of them worked.
