I tried "sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-software" in case
something was lost when upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04. Afterwards when I
ran gnome-software, it said '"GNOME Software" needs to be restarted to
use new plugins' but when I clicked "Restart Now", it hung.
This time syslog had these lines:
Jul 5 18:01:21 lxjima systemd[1989]: tracker-store.service: Succeeded.
Jul 5 18:01:27 lxjima dbus-daemon[2153]: [session uid=2000 pid=2153]

(but it's still hung)

Title:
Software app (gnome-software) Explore always hangs
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The Explore tab of the "Software" app seems to be completely non-
functional. It shows an initial screen with "Editors Picks", etc. but
if you do any search or click one of the Categories, a blank screen
appears with a forever-spinning indicator.
The following error is written to syslog:
...
dbus-daemon... Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.seahorse.Application'
gnome-shell[]: Received error from D-Bus search provider
org.gnome.seahorse.Application.desktop during GetResultMetas: Gio.DBusError:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.1376 was not
provided by any .service files
gnome-shell[]: Wrong number of result metas returned by search provider
org.gnome.seahorse.Application.desktop: expected 4 but got 0
(complete syslog from during the run is attached as syslog.txt)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Run gnome-software (or run "Software" through the app-finder mechanism)
2. Click the "Explore" (leftmost) tab at the top
3. Scroll down and click "Audio & Video" under Categories
RESULTS: White screen with forever-spinning indicator
