I'm not sure, I don't use the software center at all. How long have you let it run for? It is possible that there is just a bunch of processing going on to update after removing the cdrom sources list.
You might find some additional information in /var/log/apt/term.log. Watching that log file while launching the software center might provide additional insight.
when triggered via terminal,logfile is ending,before the center can even be launched.
so,how can that log file be watched,while the software center is launching?
using a -F instead of -f will follow the log file even if it is truncated or rotated.
still ending,seemingly.how can it be followed,even if truncated or rotated?
rebooting did the trick,so resolved now.
Ah, I didn't understand. "Log ended" means that the run completed. I'm glad you've got a resolution. Usually Linux is pretty good about not needing a reboot.
didnt understand either.log was ending,before the sw center could get started.am glad,that rebooting,got it back running again.sometimes it is doing miracles.
