Software & Updates doesn't open in 20.04 LTS
I cannot open Software & Updates, either by going to Activities, and clicking on the Software & Updates icon, or trying to open it from the terminal with the command:
software-properties-gtk
I have also tried reinstalling:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-properties-gtk
After the re-installation, it either doesn't open, or, if it does, it just shows an empty white screen. What is the problem here?
I am running Ubuntu 20.04.
I've figured it out! Apparently, I needed to run the software-properties-gtk
command with root privileges, like
sudo software-properties-gtk
And now everything works just fine. Also running `
sudo journalctl -f
and then launching the app worked well too.
I had the same problem and sudo software-properties-gtk
did not solve it.
However, as suggested by this answer in Ask Ubuntu the following command solved it:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-six python3-certifi
