Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
I am using ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from 10.04. When ever I try to access/open Ubuntu software center through Applications menu, software-center says "starting ubuntu software center" and then closes automatically without opening. But if I try opening via terminal "sudo software-center" then it opens successfully. I have tried re-installing the package but didnt work. I have also tried build-dep which also didnt fix. I am using software-center 3.0.7

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue.
Can you please try running Software Centrefrom the terminal without using sudo (i.e. just 'software-center') to see if the behaviour is the same as when you try to run it from the menu. If you experience the same behaviour, please come back and attach any terminal output which will hopefully help us look at the problem.
Thanks
