Public bug reported: Gnome software regularly seems to have problems with getting it's updates or handle them properly.
It's not clearly reproducible, as sometimes it sems to work. This time, the steps to get there were: * open the gnome software app * see some updates being offered * click on update all * wait a while * return to the computer and see the application saying "checking..." at the top left * wait for 10, 20, 30 minutes - but nothing changes, it keeps trying to fetch some updates, but I dont get any information from where and what and why it takes so long to just look if there are any updates or my installed applications are current There are a bunch of journalctl entries maybe related to that, that I will add in the comments for their size ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gnome-software 41.5-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-41.44-lowlatency 5.15.39 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-41-lowlatency x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Jul 26 16:20:41 2022 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-software InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-12 (834 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) InstalledPlugins: gnome-software-plugin-flatpak 41.5-2 gnome-software-plugin-snap 41.5-2 SourcePackage: gnome-software UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-04-28 (88 days ago) ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug jammy -- 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/1982852 Title: software hangs on "checking for updates" Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Gnome software regularly seems to have problems with getting it's updates or handle them properly.
