App Center doesn't show any applications

#6

Hi @joseanderson95

We are still looking into the debug log you posted. I would require more actions from your side. Basically give file information for the paths. So:

  • Open Terminal
  • Type and run the following 4 commands:
  1. ls -al /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/eos-apps/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz
  2. ls -al /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/eos-runtimes/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz
  3. ls -al /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/eos-sdk/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz
  4. ls -al /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz

Can you please post the output of the these commands here?

Also, it might be worth to run flatpak update --appstream in terminal and restart the system once again.

Let us know your findings.
Thanks.

Doesn’t solve the problem.

We were still not able to reproduce the issue, but one other thing you could try to see if it helps would be to remove the cache from gnome-software as follows:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Run killall gnome-software
  3. Run rm -rf $HOME/.cache/gnome-software
  4. Run gnome-software

Please let us know if that helps.

Hi @joseanderson95, did you have the chance to check about removing the g-s cache? If that doesn’t solve the problem could you please provide us with the contents of your /var/cache/app-info. You can get it with:

$ tar cf app-info.tar /var/cache/app-info

Then send us the generated app-info.tar file. Thanks.

Could you please try removing /var/cache/app-info/xmls/org.gnome.Software-eos-extra.xml.gz to see if it solves the issue. To do it run:

  1. Open terminal
  2. Run killall gnome-software
  3. Run sudo rm `/var/cache/app-info/xmls/org.gnome.Software-eos-extra.xml.gz
  4. Run gnome-software (it should redownload the file above)

After item 4 above you may need to stop/start gnome-software again (2 and 4).

somehow, it still doesn’t work sir.

#16

Thanks for checking. We believe to have found the cause of the issue (the version of libxmlb) but we don’t have any workaround atm. We are planning to include a fix in the next version, still to be confirmed though.

sorry sir the real problem is i cant use the app center because it does’t show any more apps. the only app i need is for now is vlc. so for now giving access to install vlc without using app center will make me happy. thanks

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:
flatpak install flathub org.videolan.VLC -y
flatpak update --appstream && flatpak update -y
eos-add-to-desktop org.videolan.VLC
flatpak run org.videolan.VLC

i just got mine working. i try this on terminal sudo gnome-software

it is already working but in order for it to work i need to use sudo gnome-software on terminal. Now my another question is how can i just run it without using sudo gnome-software every time i need to use the app center.

#24
