I'm not sure, I don't use the software center at all. How long have you let it run for? It is possible that there is just a bunch of processing going on to update after removing the cdrom sources list.
You might find some additional information in /var/log/apt/term.log. Watching that log file while launching the software center might provide additional insight.
tail -f /var/log/apt/term.log
when triggered via terminal,logfile is ending,before the center can even be launched.
so,how can that log file be watched,while the software center is launching?
using a -F instead of -f will follow the log file even if it is truncated or rotated.
still ending,seemingly.how can it be followed,even if truncated or rotated?
rebooting did the trick,so resolved now.
Ah, I didn't understand. "Log ended" means that the run completed. I'm glad you've got a resolution. Usually Linux is pretty good about not needing a reboot.
didnt understand either.log was ending,before the sw center could get started.am glad,that rebooting,got it back running again.sometimes it is doing miracles.
