first you need to install Ubuntu software-center
for that open up your terminal
type following commands
Code: Select all
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

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 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: http://cl.ly/1w1W2l3n2E2c , unzip then and paste to: /var/cache/software-center/
