I am using Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty in which I am not able to open Ubuntu Software Center through VNC Client. After clicking on Application Menu >> System >> Ubuntu Software Center through RealVNC client, it is just not getting opened.
When I run software-center from terminal, it says:
vnc@ip-172-31-12-90:/$ software-center

you must write in the terminal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center and then press enter, it will reset your software center. – vembutech – 2015-03-18T14:06:58.933
@vembutech I tried doing that multiple times, it didn't helped as the issue was with the permission. Below solution worked for me. Thanks bdw :) – S R – 2015-03-18T18:27:53.237
