Hello, I have some further information which I attach hoping it will help to solve the problem.
I ran strace against the Software Center's PID (5211) for a while (twice, waiting a couple of minutes between the two traces). The output is in the files strace_software_center.txt and strace_software_center.2.txt. >From how I understand the output, the software_center (PID 5211) seems to be doing some inter-process communication on file descriptors 6 and 7. The processe's file descriptors (found in /proc/5211/fd/) are also attached as well as an output of netstat -np (showing sockets). kind regards Martin ** Attachment added: "additional information as described in the comment" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1485434/+attachment/4446107/+files/software_center_hangig.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485434 Title: Installation in Ubuntu Software Center does not progress To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1485434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
