Software Center

[synaptix]

Anyone else having problems with it? Mine suddenly won't startup and this is the output from terminal:

Had the same problem. Most recent update solved the problem.

Actually the most recent update broke mine, lol.

Updated - got the same issue if I try and use it.

That's it. Clean install of Alpha 1, software center worked. After first round of updates, it still worked. Then I got some more updates later that evening and then it stopped working. :/

Figured out what the issue is here, maybe not the ultimate fix but certainly should resolve S-c segfaulting

sudo apt-get install python-configparser

Edit: I see that there is a new S-c in proposed that fixs this - so scratch the above & install s-c 13.07-0ubuntu1

Cool. I'll just wait until it hits updates. Using proposed in the past has borked my installs.

You're right. I ran S-c again, and now it's broken, again, with the same message as you posted.
