There are some problem showing after installing ubuntu software-center in Linuxmint so how to fix this o_O ? i am going to show you how to fix this !
first you need to install Ubuntu software-center
- for that open up your terminal
- type following commands
sudo apt-get install software-center
then it will ask you for permission
press y and press enter
it will take some time
and after that it will end up with some error msg like this
correct gamma=(0/100000)
Setting up humanity-icon-theme (0.6.1) ...
Setting up software-center-aptdaemon-plugins (0.1.5) ...

ImportError: No module named linuxmint
or showing appcrash (Ubuntu software-center has closed unexpectedly)
its installed in your pc but you cant start it because software-center will crash
now you need to follow some steps to fix this problem
, let’s do a little bit of coding 😀
- open /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro as root (dont do any thing foolishness because you cant undo )
- if you cant find LinuxMint.py in there then download it from below link
- then rename LinuxMint.py to linuxmint.py (just lowercase)
- open it and edit line 36, change LinuxMint to linuxmint
- rename debian.pyc to Debian.pyc
- open _init_.py
- change the value in line 170
- change it from capitalize to lower
- if you try to run it, it will show error because it cant find it’s xapian, so just get xapian files, unzip then and paste then in ( download link below )
/var/cache/software-center/
Doesn't work for me. Software center just close down after i open it.
