I actually.physically *shuddered* when I read those words. That was just before then thinking... In Debian? Rafal, my kneejerk observation is... if you went to some extraordinary effort to install "that" Software Center in Debian, that right there may well be the issue. I've actually been there and done that. Tried it a couple times, and those couple times things like stability would QUICKLY degrade into a non-functional mess. If you're speaking of something else that you're calling "Software Center", you'll need to find out the exact name of the package so others can help further.. IF THIS WAS ME... I would update my software center by its name via a terminal command line using APT. That means you would first have to run "apt-get update" to make sure your system is pulling from the absolute latest releases available. Then you would run, well, *I* would run... "apt-get install [software-package-name]". But again you need the exact name of your software update center. For newcomers who don't know, you can 99 times'ISH out of 100 find that name by looking for the word "Help" in your software's toolbar then clicking "About" that is found there by consistent, universal focused design across developers. If your package is crashing as quickly as it sounds for Rafal's, you might have click FAST to find it. As a further aside, one lesson learned on the fly was that the terminal command "ps -a" gives me that information, too. That's only for packages that are running (that are being actively used). For the permanent record, it's things just like what you're going through here that landed me at APT where I have never looked back since going that route for updates, package inquiries, and new installs. I LOVE the feeling of control that it gives!!!! Good luck! Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
