I just installed ubuntu natty 11.04 on my machine.
I tried to install 4 apps with software center (7zip, vlc, flash and
restricted-extra), and software center freezed.
I closed it, restarted it, and the problems began... Now if I open it
it just doesn't show anything (see screenshot).
WORKAROUND: Reboot your computer. After that, Software Center should
launch normally (if it does not, please also report that here,
thanks!).
