Same issue here for me as original poster. Using Ubuntu 10.10 and my version of Software Center is 3.0.8. I know it is a while since this was originally raised but as a new user, the comments generated so far don't seem provide a solution, not at least one I can interpret.

[Bug 675186] Re: Software-center does not show screenshots
Just to be sure... the original bug poster stated The screenshots next to text are displayed, but when ... *enlarge* them.. . Post #3 and #4 seem to confirm this. However, I am unable to see *any* screenshots in Software Center. For each piece of software that I look into via More Info, I just see No screenshot next to the text. (So not even a thumbnail version of the screenshot!) I have already checked several packages that have screenshots on http://screenshots.debian.net/packages, and in Software Center all of them give the No screenshot. When I click Get Screenshot in Synaptic, I do get the thumbnail and after clicking on that the full-sized screenshot. Can anyone confirm?

I don't use a proxy. This issue happens all the time for me, and, besides, the small versions of the images are displayed just fine, and I'd expect them to come from the same server. Sniffing port 80 traffic, I see HTTP requests for /thumbnail-with- version/... (two requests per screenshot: HEAD and then GET, which seems wasteful, but that's not the point of this issue) and no other traffic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675186 Title: Software-center does not show screenshots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks to bzr branch lp:ubuntu/software-version, I think I found the bug. ./view/appdetailsview_webkit.py, lines 306-307: def on_screenshot_thumbnail_clicked(self): url = self.distro.SCREENSHOT_LARGE_URL % self.app.pkgname SCREENSHOT_LARGE_URL is http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/screenshot-with- version/%(pkgname)s/%(version)s and interpolating just the package name, instead of a dictionary with all the data, results in a TypeError: format requires a mapping I think the right fix is to change that function to def on_screenshot_thumbnail_clicked(self): url = self.app.screenshot but I cannot test it myself, since apparently I got natty's version which build-depends on python-scour which doesn't exist in maverick ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675186 Title: Software-center does not show screenshots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 675186] Re: Software-center does not show screenshots
Ok, thanks for the updates. It looks like the best way to solve this is to port the image dialog (ie the popup window) to use the same image downloading code as the thumbnail viewer is using.

Hey, this is Python! I can edit files in /usr/share/software- center/softwarecenter/ to debug the issue, no building needed.

I do have a SOCKS proxy configured (localhost, port 1080) in gconf, but it is disabled: $ gconftool -R /system/http_proxy use_authentication = false authentication_password = authentication_user = ignore_hosts = [localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local,zope3] use_http_proxy = true port = 8080 use_same_proxy = false host = I'm surprised to see use_http_proxy is true, since the UI doesn't say anything about it -- see attached screenshot of gnome-network- properties.

Hi! Thanks for your bug report. A quick look at the code would seem to indicate that we display this generic/blank image when we get a 403/404 error from the screenshots server (which is not immediately obvious from the ui). It is interesting to note that two people reported this issue within 12 hours of each other, but that we have not seen this issue before. This would seem to indicate that it may have been that the server was temporarily unreachable. Are you two able to check if this is a persisting issue, or if it was indeed just a temporary issue? There could well be a deeper cause, so please let us know your findings.
