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?

using a -F instead of -f will follow the log file even if it is truncated or rotated.

rebooting did the trick,so resolved now.

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.
