Well, I downloaded the necessary libraries for yakkety and recompiled the gnome-software with packagekit support, but i got the same result as before.
I found that if you have uncontrolled or unstable network connection, gnome software could not see it and places the selected packages into the queue, instead of installing. After this, gnome software won't open. For example, if using pppoe with network manager, gnome-software works perfectly, but the sites are opened too slow (in my case, that is why i am using pppoeconf). From other hand, after setting pppoe connection with pppoeconf, the sites are opened quickly, bug gnome-software affected with many assigned bugs which were opened here. You can check this by starting GS, selecting the tab "upgrades" and clicking update button in the upper left hand corner of the application window. If a message Network is unreachable or something about pop up, than thats the problem. The logic is very clear - "have no network - can't install". In any case it is not only ubuntu problem, so this bug can be closed. -- 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: Triaged 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 ?
