I had this problemm as well. I accidentally close Ubuntu Software Center while still installing something. The application just dissapear without any warning or confirmation. The I reopen it again,happily the process is still in there. But I wrong. The process still listed but not running at all. Even System Monitor tell that software-center process is sleeping. After reboot, then try install/uninstall from Software Center, it says waiting for other software managers, forever.
sudo dpkg --configure -a doesn't work me. My ubuntu is installed on offline PC and only use DVD as software source. -- Ubuntu software center says waiting for other software managers to quit when none are open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
