I tried to open software & updates in Ubuntu 16.04 via terminal but I got this error message:

:~$ software-properties-gtk
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:40: PyGIWarning: Gdk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gdk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
