Thank you, Sam! The information in your log is exactly what we needed. Analyzing your log, it seems that the shutdown is interrupted due to an error with your software-center config file:
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/home/sam/.config/software- center/softwarecenter.cfg.new' And this results in the crash that corresponds to this bug's stacktrace. I was able to reproduce this error by restricing the permissions on the file softwarecenter.cfg.new. This is great info and clears up the mystery of why we were getting this error. We can take it from here now and get the fix(es) in for this. Many thanks for your help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885726 Title: software-center crashed with TypeError in _get_combo_children(): object of type 'NoneType' has no len() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/885726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
