Public bug reported: When I try to open the Ubuntu Software Center, the icon blinks for a few seconds then stops, and nothing happens.
When I try to launch it using the command line, I have the following error: % software-center 2015-01-21 09:52:46,360 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.app - INFO - setting up proxy 'None' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 130, in <module> app = SoftwareCenterAppGtk3(options, args) File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/app.py", line 397, in __init__ self.icons) File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/panes/installedpane.py", line 95, in __init__ CategoriesParser.__init__(self, db) File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/categories.py", line 251, in __init__ self._build_string_template_dict() File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/categories.py", line 303, in _build_string_template_dict region = "%s" % get_region_cached()["countrycode"] KeyError: 'countrycode' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: software-center 13.10-0ubuntu4.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-29.39-generic 3.16.7-ckt2 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-29-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jan 21 09:48:52 2015 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-15 (66 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: software-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413035 Title: Cannot launch Ubuntu Software Center Status in software-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I try to open the Ubuntu Software Center, the icon blinks for a few seconds then stops, and nothing happens.
