The software-center crash only occurs with Ubuntu 13.04 & GNOME 3.8.x (specifically, after installing gnome-shell and ubuntu-gnome-desktop from the GNOME 3 PPA). I have another computer that has Ubuntu 13.04 & GNOME 3.6.x and on that system, both software-center and ubuntu-tweak do not crash.

It is completely unrelated to the display of images which are downloaded. Even with that line commented, the featured items exhibit images will still be downloaded, and will still be displayed. The FeaturedExhibit() is a simple object, to let the software center display a default featured items image, while none have yet been downloaded, or in the event there are none to display. It does not connect to the network, or depend on any cached images. It points at an image file which is included directly in the software-center package, and which should always exist. Removing the cache directory as mentioned, also does not induce a crash for me, albeit I am on 13.04 and not using the GNOME 3 PPA. Is there a way to reproduce this crash on 13.04 without the GNOME 3 PPA? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to a duplicate bug report (1189326). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163886 Title: software-center crashed with signal 5 with the GNOME3 PPA on 13.04 Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: software center crashes when I open it ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: software-center 5.6.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-16.26-generic 3.8.5 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Wed Apr 3 14:15:24 2013 Disassembly: => 0x7f104ac4f2c5: Cannot access memory at address 0x7f104ac4f2c5 ExecutablePath: /usr/share/software-center/software-center InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-23 (161 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.7 MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/software-center Signal: 5 SourcePackage: software-center Stacktrace: #0 0x00007f104ac4f2c5 in ??
