Maybe this will help somebody, the only thing that works for me: FoxitReader creates the file /home/nis/.local/share/applications but gnome-software needs the directory /home/nis/.local/share/applications/ After deleting /home/nis/.local/share/applications all works well again.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1563155] Re: No Application Data Found
Additional info re: my comment above. I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on two PCs, an Asus laptop and HP desktop. On 7/7 both were having this issue but since then the laptop somehow self corrected after applying updates a couple of days later. The desktop is still not working but all updates have been run. Side note: I discovered that if I run command sudo gnome-software from terminal, Software Center opens with all applications showing normally. Is that a viable workaround? I'm reluctant to try installing applications that way because I don't want to have to run them as root.

Here is the list of things I've tried (in order, not sure if the order made a difference in fixing) - changing language and restarting (didn't work) - sudo apt purge gnome-software ubuntu-software sudo apt autoremove sudo apt install gnome-software ubuntu-software (didn't work) - sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose (didn't work) - sudo rm -r /var/cache/app-info && sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose (didn't work) - killall gnome-software ; gnome-software --verbose | tee /tmp/gnome- software.log (then ctrl-c and it worked) I'm assuming some combination of this fixed it.

Hmm, the head of the output would have been more interesting... But anyway, it looks like you have a `/var/cache/app-info/yaml/xenial-main_amd64.yml.gz` file - any idea where that came from?
