Ubuntu Software Center недоступен

Когда я открываю Ubuntu Software Center, он появляется на некоторое время с остановленным кругом загрузки и автоматически закрывается. Я пытался установить Google Chrome, но центр программного обеспечения Ubuntu недоступен.

Это ошибка при запуске Центра программного обеспечения из терминала:
