hi ! kurja;

here full output (12.04.1 version):

code:

 sudo software-center [sudo] password sysop1:  2012-11-01 16:23:32,263 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.app - info - setting proxy 'none' 2012-11-01 16:23:32,299 - softwarecenter.db.database - info - open() database: path=none use_axi=true use_agent=true 2012-11-01 16:23:32,806 - softwarecenter.backend.reviews - warning - not usefulness server, no username in config file 2012-11-01 16:23:33,026 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.app - info - show_available_packages: search_text '', app none. 2012-11-01 16:23:33,031 - softwarecenter.db.pkginfo_impl.aptcache - info - aptcache.open()

noting several differences...problems dependents ?? geo clue ? init _,py ? memory allocation ???

thoughts re-install software -center , see if errors remain. . suggest re-install terminal , watch errors generated.
