Public bug reported:
This does not really affect only myself, but also my little sisters computer.
You can't really browse software center, it's REALLY slow...
Also there is two banners at the top, it shows "OpenShot" and "Braid" --
it did that on my sisters computer a few days ago too.
But, you can't click these banners; and I believe that the intention is
that you should be able to do so and get directed to some program
descriptor thingie.
Also, I tried to search for "OpenShot" -- but the software center did
not respond to that command (it did not hung up).
I have not been able to install a single program with the software
center, so I've been forced to use the terminal; Which is not a too big
deal for me, but really, my sister is 11yrs and I can't really expect
that she will grok the terminal anytime soon (I've tried to learn her
git via the terminal once, which did not work out too well as she did
not want to type any commands herself. Luckily, there were a few
graphical frontends. I installed like five and told her to use to one
she likes the most).
I've bought a few games like braid, osmos and a few others, both to
myself and my sister -- and I hate that I have to go to her laptop and
install the stuff for her... You have major regressions going on with
Ubuntu! It used to be _easier_ than windows!
Also (in the past), the software center were the way I found out about
useful software.
