[Bug 923543] [NEW] Software Center only opening once

 

Public bug reported:

1) I am using Ubuntu 11.10
2) The software-center version is 5.0.4

3/4) I can open the software center after logging in completely fine,
however, when I exit the software-center and then try to open it again,
the software-center will not load, I only see the grey default
background. The program is still responsive and I can close the window
by pushing X, it is just that nothing is happening besides the grey
window.

I can reproduce the error on my computer most of the time but no 100%
reliably. Sometimes the software-center will open also if it was open
before. However, most of the time above described pattern occurs and I
do not know how those conditions differ, it seems to be randomly working
sometime.

If I start the software-center in the terminal the only line popping up
is: 2012-01-30 01:09:43,247 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.em - INFO - EM's:
17 15 21

When I log out and log back in I can start the software-center once
without any problems and afterwards the same problems begin.

I do not remember when the problems exactly started but it was not
before I started using 11.04. I upgraded directly from 10.10 to 11.04
and from 11.04 to 11.10.
