My user name was jamin,and I used the command

sudo chown jamin -R /usr

Then something wrong with some of my software and cmd,and I aware of that I was stupid for what I was done just now.

Then I used the command:

sudo chown root -R /usr

For now, the Software Center can't work and so was others. I want to recover the default owner of of /usr and it's subfile.

I'm a fresh. Any body Help?

most of that is owned by root:root, but if chown root:root does not work is is likely faster and more reliable to do a fresh install. Lesson learned, do not change system files without backup and understand what you are doing first. – Panther May 24 '15 at 03:01

Yeah,I draw a lesson from it! I've installed many libs and software in my ubuntu,I do not want to reinstall it. – Jamin May 24 '15 at 07:06
