This is still a problem on Ubuntu 18.10:

- search spins forever
- clicking on a category shows a bunch of empty boxes with an ellipsis in it
- fetching updates also seems to spin forever

journalctl _EXE=/usr/bin/gnome-software shows nothing today; the last
log entries were from Nov 9:

lapkr. 09 10:49:17 platonas gnome-software[6336]: failed to get updates: 
Timeout was reached as flatpak took too long to return results
lapkr. 09 10:49:26 platonas gnome-software[6336]: failed to get updates:

lapkr. 09 10:49:38 platonas gnome-software[6336]: failed to get updates: 
Timeout was reached as flatpak took too long to return results

Killing and restarting gnome-software fixes everything.

  I mentioned to Robert last week that I keep getting the spinner and no
  results returned when searching in g-s on 16.04. He suggested I update
  to the version in the PPA and enable logging to capture what's
  happening. Log attached.
