every now and then, after I install a new program using the software center, after the install, when I try to start the program, nothing happens.

For example, I added blender and it will not launch.

Am I missing something? Do I need to remove the program and install it again?

well, I tried starting the example program (blender) from the terminal. Here is what I got:

united@united-desktop:~/.blender$ blender -w

Checking for installed Python... got it!
