Hello,
After the EOS 5 update I am experiencing some issues with the App Center - the update check takes longer and there are a lot of “Loading Application Details” screens while browsing the pages of the individual apps - it goes to the point where it is very hard to actually use the App Center.
eos-diagnostic-230311_191601_UTC 0200.txt (1.3 MB)
Adding to the above - the overall performance of the system is way worse after updating to EOS 5.
Having the same problem.
It’s impossible to do anything with the App Center…
Yes, the AppCenter is quite unresponsive, search for Apps needs a lot of (or better too much) patience.
After having found some App and clicking on it, I have to wait several minutes before I can proceed with installing it. I gave up and restarted AppCenter after having enabled “Settings > Privacy > Metrics” after having seen a hint in journalctl. Now it appears to work better.
this “Key expired error” is persisting:
What do you see if you run
flatpak update -v
in a Terminal window? Do you get the same signature error? The Flatpak CLI may give more details than Software.
What files do you have in: /var/lib/flatpak/repo?
What is the output of:
ostree remote gpg-list-keys
produces lots of messages, please find enclosed the transcript created with

sorry for the delayed answer …
I’m suspicious of this file. Can you try this to rename it away?
sudo mv /var/lib/flatpak/repo/eos-sdk.trustedkeys.gpg{,.bak}
looks like this salvaged the “Key expired” problem … thanks a lot
but AppCenter is still very unresponsive. Searching for Conjure needs about 20 sec followed by no response for several minutes after clicking into the search result. After more than six (!) minutes I gave up waiting for the detailed information.
once again, searching is almost impossible with the AppCenter, @wjt any news about it?
I switched to the command line for searching and installing, but I consider the CLI a bit uncomfortable …
Can you please run the following command:
{ killall gnome-software; gnome-software --verbose; } > ~/gnome-software.txt
Then, do something in App Center which induces the behavior. Terminate the command line with Ctrl-C and upload the generated file gnome-software.txt from your Home directory here.
I re-tried a search in AppCenter today and apparently AppCenter is usable again, it returns search results in a timely manner, although I don’t know since when. Despite I tried your suggestion and got in the first run a message saying:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
then I re-tried it with
{ killall gnome-software; gnome-software --verbose; } > ~/gnome-software.txt 2>&1
and here is the resulting log: gnome-software.txt (801.9 KB)
Current status:
The search works now with an acceptable speed (i.e. searching for MarkDown needs around 10 sec for getting results, but when I try to get more information about a result, by clicking into e.g. ThiefMD, nothing happens at all for several minutes. There is no hint that it is working. I gave up after several minutes (having switched between AppCenter and FireFox (typing this message here). When I guess correctly that I can find ThiefMD under the topic work and scroll down the list manually the detailed info about ThiefMD pops up with a reasonable delay.
So there is still room for improvement.
Since it is apparently not only the AppCenter, which is misbehaving, I started a new thread …
and I am still hoping for some help
