    Exclamation Software center won't work and dashboard won't show any programs

    Title says it all. The software center turns dark and freezes, the dashboard will show you all the files I've recently viewed but none of the programs.

    Try clearing Software Center's cache, it should fix both:
    Code:
    rm -rf ~/.cache/software-center
    If you wonder why the Unity Dash is affected by that too, please see here.
