    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?

              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.
