Updated yesterday. Ubuntu One and Software Center stopped working. Message from Ubuntu One was "IPCError". Software Center just won't run at all.

Anyone else having same problem?

Checking, I see that it doesn't work here either (Xubuntu 13.10). At some point it will again...

Frankly, though I don't have anything specific against the Software Center, I use Synaptic and apt-get on a day-to-day basis.

Software Center works in my installation, which only have ppa:s for Spotify, Wine and My-Weather-Indicator. Ubuntu one didn't work this morning, but after these updates it is OK.

Most recent update solved both problems.

[ping-wu]

Ubuntu One has been fixed (knock on wood!!!). Looks like Software-Center is still under construction.

[ping-wu]

Software-Center fixed with the most recent update. Ubuntu One was already fixed.

Houston, Saucy is ready for taking off!
