Comment 10 for bug 1606238

Well, I downloaded the necessary libraries for yakkety and recompiled the gnome-software with packagekit support, but i got the same result as before.

I found that if you have uncontrolled or unstable network connection, gnome software could not see it and places the selected packages into the queue, instead of installing. After this, gnome software won't open.

For example, if using pppoe with network manager, gnome-software works perfectly, but the sites are opened too slow (in my case, that is why i am using pppoeconf). From other hand, after setting pppoe connection with pppoeconf, the sites are opened quickly, bug gnome-software affected with many assigned bugs which were opened here.

You can check this by starting GS, selecting the tab "upgrades" and clicking update button in the upper left hand corner of the application window. If a message Network is unreachable or something about pop up, than thats the problem.

The logic is very clear - "have no network - can't install".

In any case it is not only ubuntu problem, so this bug can be closed.
