Since last few days I'm having problems with "Application Manager". Everytime I try to open it, it either automatically close without any error or I get an error stating "Operation Failed" but the bar on the bottom continues to move as if it is checking for update. When the bar reaches to the end I get a message "no applications available".

Any suggestions ?

run apt-get update and post the output

Disabling JoikuSpot repository fixed the problem.

Does this happen every once in a while?

Anyone having this problem recently?

I can't even install some apps (Sphyro). Keep getting installation package not found error.

It's still not working!!!

Anyone else having this problem?

Menu->Log

should probably have something like
"Cannot acquire lock from pid XXXX"
if that's the case, go to XTerm and type
kill XXXX
then try again. if not, post the log here.
