  I just installed ubuntu natty 11.04 on my machine.

  I tried to install 4 apps with software center (7zip, vlc, flash and
  restricted-extra), and software center freezed.

  I closed it, restarted it, and the problems began... Now if I open it
  it just doesn't show anything (see screenshot).

  WORKAROUND: Reboot your computer. After that, Software Center should
  launch normally (if it does not, please also report that here,
  thanks!).
