just to be clear, are you opening it inside software center or are you trying to launch it from a launcher?

If I have to run this in a terminal, how do I do that?
either hit ctrl+c or go to Accessories > Terminal. alternatively, you could hit alt+f2 and then type gnome-terminal into the box that appears and then click on run

"Right, same problem but I think I have a fix - uninstall the music manager. Go into ~/.config and delete the google-music-manager directory then install the package all over again, when the first run wizard begins, click upload and choose an empty directory, go through all the error messages (less than 10 files found, etc) and then once that it done and the icon is in the tray, clicking on it should work. Let me know if this works for you. Regards"
Where is ~/.config? Is that a folder, or do I type that in my terminal? Can someone take that paragraph and reword it for a beginner, or help me resolve this alternatively?
- ~ is a 'shortcut' for your home folder.
- ~/.config is a hidden folder inside your home folder, named '.config' (all hidden files and folders start with a '.')
to do what those instructions say, either:
- open Nautilus (Files)
- hit ctrl+h to show hidden files
- double click on .config
- delete google-music-manager
or open a terminal (see above) and then type in (or middle click with this command highlighted):
Code:
rm -Rfv ~/.config/google-music-manager
