Changing between apps, nothing special. It stabilized quickly, it works mostly fine after it happened.

Comment 15 kartochka378 2025-12-18 21:25:55 UTC
flatpack part of gnome-software is stuck updating gnome SDK (no progress after clicking update button), I tired after around 3 min, close whole gnome-software GUI (I assume some activity of package-manager in background). After a while, I start gnome-software again, tried to search Dirt-Rally in search box, instant crash.

Started laptop, started Firefox.
Poked around a bit in network settings/network manager.

Comment 18 johan162 2025-12-21 16:51:08 UTC
Summary:
"Software" app crashes consistently when entering search text and pressing return to see results.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open "Software"
2. Click the magnifying glass to open search box
3. Enter some text (e.g. "latex") and press Return

The application crashes after 3-4 seconds. This is something that happened in a recent update. This used to work.

Crashes with software running in the background - did PackageKit and/or gnome-software protocol versions diverge?

Comment 26 Sander 2025-12-30 17:45:29 UTC
This crash has started occuring frequently after setting org.gnome.software allow-updates to 'false' with this command:
"gsettings set org.gnome.software allow-updates false"

Since then, I get this crash regularly, in this case when I opened gnome-software through the main menu. It also sometimes occurs somehow when starting Vorta (backup software).

Gnome software was not opened at the time it crashed. I have no further information. Seems to be working. Cannot reproduce.

I searched for "video editor" which worked as expected. I installed shotcut. Software crashed during the installation.  Now when I search for things in software it just crashes.

I searched for something in a foreign language :"כך", and then it unexpectedly crashed.

Comment 31 Takehiko Abe 2026-01-02 06:00:49 UTC
Typing in gnome shell overview crashes gnome software as is reported here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2930

This leads to:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2873

and the patches are submitted to PackageKit:

https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/pull/930

Downgrading PackageKit to PackageKit-1.3.1-6.fc43.x86_64 fixed the problem for me.

Occured after the installation of the software package Deja Dup (RPM version; not Flatpak) in Gnome Software. (The screen said "Anwendungsdetails werden geladen" (the computer in question is configured to display texts in german) which should be something like "Application details are being loaded" in englisch.)
