Gnome software on fedora 24 is not working. It is not showing any icon. I tried installing google chrome using .rpm package, but gnome software took forever to open and ended with some error which I could not take a note. I tried this but no avail. I also tried this, but I guess packagekit service is working good. Output of systemctl status packagekit.service -l is here. I tried reinstalling and upgrading gnome-software, but no avail.

Kindly help me.

I recently moved from ubuntu to fedora.

Thanks in advance.

For chrome, simply install Chromium from official Fedora repository:

sudo dnf install chromium

try: rm -r ~/.cache/gnome-software

then from terminal run (gnome-software) To see if the errors appeared . Wait a few Seconds then close gnome-software and run again.

to install rpm package You can use dnf :

sudo dnf install pachage.rpm

to install google chrome add repo and install copy paste:

echo -e "[google-chrome]\nname=google-chrome\nbaseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/\$basearch\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub" |sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo

sudo dnf install google-chrome-stable

after reinstalling gnome software it show empty category for 5+ minutes then error on terminal.. I can't post full error message here due to character limitation. So here it is. When I tried installing any package from gnome-software, it ended with error Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=x86_64 [Connection timed out after 120002 milliseconds]
