Created attachment 885004 [details] Screenshot of the problem Description of problem: GNOME Software contains no data. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software-3.10.4-2.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Any time I run GNOME Software, I see no data. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 20 with Xfce (aka not with GNOME) 2. yum update 3. yum install gnome-software 4. Run GNOME Software from application menu Actual results: No data, see attached screenshot. Expected results: GNOME Software full of available software. Additional info: I guess that's some missing dependency.
What does "gnome-software --verbose" say? GNOME Software was not designed for XFCE, and has had basically zero testing there,

BTW it works fine on my other machine with Xfce. But I have installed the package long time ago here.
(gnome-software:18952): Gs-WARNING **: failed to get popular apps: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files Is packagekitd crashing? Is packagekit present?
Does gnome-software depend on PackageKit? $ rpm -q --requires gnome-software /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh gnome-icon-theme libatk-1.0.so.0()(64bit) libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) libcairo-gobject.so.2()(64bit) libcairo.so.2()(64bit) libgdk-3.so.0()(64bit) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgio-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgmodule-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgobject-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgtk-3.so.0()(64bit) libm.so.6()(64bit) libnotify.so.4()(64bit) libpackagekit-glib2.so.16()(64bit) libpango-1.0.so.0()(64bit) libpangocairo-1.0.so.0()(64bit) libpthread.so.0()(64bit) libsqlite3.so.0()(64bit) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rtld(GNU_HASH) rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 Nope. See my first post. > I guess that's some missing dependency. I don't have the access to this machine, but when I uninstall PackageKit here, I see the vary same thing happening, so that's 99 % the case. My conclusion: gnome-software should depend either on PackageKit or some other component that would bring it in.
