I recently looked up how to update and reinstall the software center after it had vanished off my netbook, i followed the instructions found here - Software Center won't open at all which was just a case of using sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install software-center (it all seemed to go well) and now when I run it I get this chunk displayed through the terminal:
~$ software-center

Does anyone have any idea what i need to do to get my system running and stable please? I've never been that good at understanding this and would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Pulling my hair out while quietly sobbing doesn't seem to be helping the problem.
