--- Comment #18 from Jonathan Kang
Created attachment 843610 [details] Output of journalctl, pkmon, gnome-software in one single file
Here's how the log got created: .......................................... #!/bin/sh
LOG=log
killall gnome-software
echo "### Log started at `date`" > $LOG
echo "### Capturing output of journalctl --utc -f" >> $LOG journalctl --utc -f >> $LOG 2>&1 &
echo "### Capturing output of pkmon" >> $LOG pkmon >> $LOG 2>&1 &
echo "### Starting and capturing gnome-software --verbose" >> $LOG gnome-software --verbose >> $LOG 2>&1 &
echo "READY. Type in comments" sed -u 's/^/### /' < /dev/stdin >> $LOG ..........................................
This is very useful! The logs show that GNOME Software somehow created a transaction and then does nothing with it. And PackageKit was processing that transaction. But as the transaction asked to do nothing, PK was doing nothing. However, what's not very clear is how GNOME Software created a "empty" transaction. So if you can add dbus logging which shows which methods are called on "org.freedesktop.PackageKit" interface, that'll help a lot on further debuging it.
