16.04 Software Centre not opening

Question

I can open it from the terminal by typing software-center but the icon in the launcher does not do anything. I was wondering if someone knows how to fix it? It is a minor irritation however as I've only recently switched to Ubuntu I'm keen to have it all working :)

Solution 1

This actually started working on its own. I have no idea why, it just started working after two reboots.

Solution 2

My software center link in the launcher stopped working the other day,. I searched the dash and found 'Ubuntu Software' and 'Ubuntu Software Center'. Dragged 'Ubuntu Software Center' to the launcher as a replacement and its worked since :-)

Hope that helps
