Hm, odd. That error message probably means that software-centre's X connection has been closed - it's trying to write to a socket that no longer works.
That's not a common failure mode for X applications. I can't seem to reproduce it, but failing anything else, running software-centre under “xtrace” would print all the X protocol traffic that's occurring and the point at which it starts to fail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/743020 Title: software-center: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
