[12:33] <hermit> For some reason the "software" package seems to be broken. It goes into a grey screen mode as soon as I switch to Updates, with a spinning wheel showing it is doing something. Going to all and picking a package or typing an appname does the same thing. Any ideas?

[12:58] <hermit> Sound asleep.... Thinks
[12:59]  * hermit plays the bagpipes very, very loudly...

[14:50] <OvenWerks> hermit: ^^^
[14:51] <OvenWerks> hermit: "Software" is included in UbuntuStudio because it is part of the base ubuntu that Studio is built on.
