I'm having problems with the Ubuntu Software Center, when I try to open it, after two seconds it closes. I've tried reinstalling it but I keep getting this when I try sudo apt-get update:



W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/software-store-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/software-store-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


Thanks!

Those messages aren't really errors. They are simply telling you that that PPA does not support your version of Ubuntu. They are not preventing you from just running sudo apt-get install software-center which will still work.



Remove that PPA (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/software-store-developers/ppa/ubuntu raring main) from your sources. It is no longer in use. Updated versions of software-center are provided via the Ubuntu One team's PPAs:




  • ppa:ubuntuone/stable

  • ppa:ubuntuone/beta

  • ppa:ubuntuone/nightlies



These PPAs include the Ubuntu One client packages, Software Center, and any necessarily updated dependencies. However, the version of software-center in Ubuntu 13.04 is still pretty much up to date, as it was only released a couple months ago.
