Ever since 16.04 there has been nothing but issues with the new software center. First, it couldn't install anything of its life dependent on it requiring a separate package installer to be used. Now, suddenly, out of the blue, ubuntu-software will not open; it loads somewhat, then force closes within a few seconds after opening. I wish these things would all be working properly before releasing a LTS. It's a little embarrassing, really. Never had these issues with 14.04.

Anyway, here's what the terminal spits out when launching from there. Help?

shantelle@G505:~$ ubuntu-software

I was having the same issue. I went to 'System Settings->Details' and clicked on 'Install Updates', and now life is better.
