Public bug reported:

Hello,

I have upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 14.04.

Now I would like to install the GNOME desktop and I used the "Ubuntu
Software Center" for this purpose. I choose the Gnome desktop package
and started the installation.

The installation is now running for over 7 hours,  and the progress bar
in the Software Center window stays in the middle position while the
"progress" icon keeps turning around.

When I display processes with top, I see software-center, compiz and
Xorg as the top CPU consumers with 5-10% each. Overall CPU usage is
between 10 and 30 percent (displayed with vmstat) and there is no
significant swapping or other I/O activity. So I wonder what the process
(softwar-center) is actually doing / what it is waiting for.

My machine is a HP laptop EliteBook8530w, with two Intel Core2 Duo @
2.66 GHz and 3.8 GByte of main memory.

For the moment I'll keep Software Center running, in case you need any
further information from the running system. Please also advise me if I
can safely terminate (kill) Software Center, without leaving the system
in an inconsistent state.

Thank you very much for any help
kind regards
Martin
