Aha! An updates popup just appeared, and the search started working again. So the problem seems to be that the search function silently breaks when updates are being found/downloaded silently in the background. Yes, it's a known shortcoming of the PackageKit yum backend that it can't do multiple things at the same time. In F20, PackageKit uses the yum backend, but in F21 we've switched to a hawkey backend which is going to give a much better experience: it's faster and allows doing things simultaneously. Sadly, there's nothing we can do for F20 here since we've promised FESCo to keep using the yum backend there. Sorry! |
Created attachment 901186 [details] "No application found" screenshot Description of problem: When I search inside the Software app, there are never any results. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software-3.10.4-2.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open GNOME Software app 2. Choose e.g. Firefox, or some software shown under Picks, and enter its name in the search box 3. Press return. Actual results: "No application found" as per screenshot Expected results: Matching software should be listed. Additional info: 1. This is a very recent install on my desktop. It also happens on my laptop (also a fresh install, though not quite so recent). 2. Both systems download software through a caching proxy. So I have edited some of the YUM config files. 3. "yum search firefox" works fine. 4. Software seems to work OK otherwise. I can click in Categories and view & install software that way.
