This time, it's a laptop. Old one with amd cpu and 911 nvidia GPU. Nvidia driver 340.
Gnome-software opens and asks for update so every package can be displayed. I installed updates, removed nvidia driver (nouveau is more stable on this old machine), installed vlc, ffmpeg, libavcodec-extra, libavtools, synaptic, chromium-browser (everything with sudo apt update | remove | install). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606238 Title: gnome-software won't open Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, I upgrade the system from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 some time ago. At beginning, gnome-software refused to open and I had to remove old ubuntu software and "--reinstall" the gnome-software. Everything was fine, except for many sorts of packages it can't install so I installed synaptic. Some days ago, gnome software went on a strike but claimed nothing ! I can open a terminal and call gnome-software : nothing The launcher turns around in the dock. Any Idea ?
