Public bug reported: When initially running Software Center all is OK but after I close it, when rerunning it come up with a blank screen.
This all started when I upgraded to 12.04. It was OK with 11.10 I have done a complete removal, reboot and install form the package manager but that made no difference. If I type "killall software-center" in a terminal it will then run OK but once again, after closing it will fail the next run. If run from the terminal, after closing these errors are reported...
