Description Peter Trenholme 2015-12-26 23:12:41 UTC
Description of problem: When the "Show Details" button, displayed after right-clicking on an application name in the search text-box drop-down list, is clicked, the pop-up window shows a "busy" icon, and no other "details." (I waited several minutes - while doing other things - on a AMD-8, 4-core, processor, with 12Gb RAM.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest "rawhide."

How reproducible: Every time

Steps to Reproduce: See description, above.

Actual results: See description, above.

Expected results: Informative display (of the .desktop file?)

Additional info: IIRC, this also happens in F-23, but I've not confirmed my vague recollection.

I labeled that as "low priority" because it (most likely) has no operational impact.

The pop-up window is gnome-software, reassigning.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2016-05-25 09:45:43 UTC
Do you see this with the version in F24 now? I can't reproduce.

Comment 4 Peter Trenholme 2016-05-26 19:01:24 UTC
Well, no, not now. But the reason is somewhat strange: Now, when I click the "Details" button, the whole selection pop-up, an the activities window, apparently crash. (At least I get another pop-up telling me that "GNOME has crashed, and the issue has been automatically reported.")

Is there any way I can look at the "automatic report?" If I could see it, I might be able to see why things are crashing. (For example, when I try to login from the sddm login screen selecting either "Gnome with Wayland" or "Plasma with Wayland" my system locks up, and needs a hard reboot. And when I boot into a simple "Plasma" session, the "plasmashell" executable crashes, although kdm runs well. All this makes me think that I'm missing some fundamental program, but I can't figure out what it might be. [Although the Wayland problem may be related to my running two monitors off of a single Radeon card.])

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 19:41:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 12:35:31 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
