While looking through the backtrace, I noticed the references to libgs_plugin_snap.so. That reminded me, I was messing around with snapcraft a couple of weeks ago, trying to snap an app of mine (it didn't end well).
I'm wondering if I inadvertently broke something, possibly removing a critical snap related file in error (I didn't intentionally remove or change anything outwith my own created snap files, but wouldn't rule out having done so erroneously as a possibility). Either way, in that scenario a resultant gnome-software crash probably wouldn't be a desired/expected outcome, so I'd imagine the bug would nevertheless stand, but this is some additional context in case it's useful. -- 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/1720442 Title: Software (gnome-software) crashes after several seconds.
