Thread: Failure to launch Ubuntu Software Center

hi, i'm new ubuntu , encountered problem use with.
i've tried installing r statistics package using ubuntu software center, when try launch it, error message telling me application has closed unexpectedly.
when click details states problem ' executablepath' , 'could not determine package or source package name.'

i've since managed install r through:
sudo apt-get install r-base

i'd software center run well, i'm still looking way obtain rcmdr (gui).

have feeling i'm lacking depencies, don't know how find out ones (if so). either or there may wrong specific ubuntu build, it'd fair wasn't sure of doing (though flying on default far possible). in advance help!

first, welcome ubuntu , forums!

installing software center or apt-get command prompt should give same result. dependency handling same under-the-hood. i'm not sure why had trouble when installed through sc. perhaps verbatim quote of error message helpful.

package name of gui you're looking r-cran-rcmdr, install thus:

code:

sudo apt-get install r-cran-rcmdr

again, should able install through sc , exact same result.
