I can't launch the Software & Updates center in Bionic Beaver. No video application will open. I tried to install the software center manually and got the following output:



neil@neil-ThinkPad-T420:~$ sudo apt-get install software-center
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done
Package software-center is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source



E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate



I'm not a technical adept and can barely follow simple terminal instructions. I need help.

    Why not using the tools provided with Ubuntu 18.04 ? Or if you prefer, synaptic is very good too (sudo apt-get install synaptic).
