When you try to start the Software Centre in a terminal, what error message do you get?

Hi caribou suggested you launch Ubuntu Software Center from a terminal emulator so any error message can be spotted. Launching from the menu will not display such messages. Please follow the instructions below and report back on what you see.

Press ALT+F2
Type: 'x-terminal-emulator' (without the quotes) and hit ENTER
In the terminal emulator type the command: 'ubuntu-software-center'

Now if there are any error messages you might get a hint as to what's wrong.

You can launch terminal in Ubuntu with keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T. The command that you type in terminal should be 'software-center' or 'software-center-gtk3' because that's the actual binaries names of Ubuntu Software Center.

Hi amir_ali2,

You can install Synaptic Package Manager.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

You can install Software Center with

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center

Hello dear Sammiev...

i already have Synaptic Package manager installed in to my system.
but it's showing error on opening "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report"
My Ubuntu Software Center already not working so what other step i can take to install Software center to download softwares in my System. i am using currently "Release 10.04 (lucid) Kernel Linux 2.6.32-33-generic"

Have you tried to do what he is suggesting? Open a terminal window and run

sudo dpkg --configure -a

...i am using currently "Release 10.04 (lucid) Kernel Linux 2.6.32-33-generic"

Unless your using the server edition which will be maintained until April 2015, I would advise you to upgrade your Ubuntu system, because 10.04 desktop edition faced his EOL last May
