tested on dx6120 xubuntu 18.10 using -proposed...
I was able to search & install leafpad, gedit (non-snap version
selected) & xscorch
I ran it from CLI - HOWEVER it didn't return as expected to bash ($)
prompt - needing me to eventually ^C to get my prompt back. Output
follows, but on another term I queried and saw

No idea if this is an issue ... I re-ran it again, searched for leafpad,
cancelled and searched for mpv, then exited (no installs). It hung this
time too ..

Title:
gnome-software crashes with assertion failure Gs:ERROR:../lib/gs-
plugin-loader.c:1698:gs_plugin_loader_pending_apps_add: assertion
failed: (gs_app_list_length (list) > 0)
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in gnome-software source package in Cosmic:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
* Impact
gnome-software segfaults on i386
* Test case
Try to open a category or install a deb on an i386 cosmic instance, it
should work
* Regression potential
Nothing specific to test, make sure gnome-software still works on
amd64

using the live earlier today I had this issue, I re-zsync'd cosmic
daily & re-wrote to thumb-drive, then re-tested - same issue.
load "software' at main menu; search for leafpad (chosen only because
it's small & I know name), then clicking install - it sits awhile then
software closes.
after software closes, error/warning-type-windows appear saying
"Invalid problem report - No such file or directory"
I re-loaded [gnome-]software from terminal & the output is as follows
(same results on screen, search leafpad, select it then click install
- software closes/abends..)

note: this has now been tested on three machines, same results (for leafpad
& gedit) using same thumb-drive & daily iso. However I got the same result on
yesterday's iso on dx6120 (first tested system) but didn't have time then to
fully diagnose & submit - now done (on newer iso)
--
I booted on a QA-test installed Xubuntu 18.10 (/dev/sda2) on the dx6120, sudo
apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade; then tried gnome-software to add leafpad,
gedit... same result -- see comment #12
