Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and the installed version of gnome-software is 3.20.1
* I install a desktop application from a .deb package. I tried several methods (apt install, dpkg -i, xdg-open then click on install button). * After the installation, I control that the application is visible from the system: * The application appears correctly in the application list in Unity Dash * The application appears in the "Open With" menu list in Nautilus (because of registered mime types) * The package name of the application can be used as an argument of apt commands (apt show, apt remove...) and dpkg (dpkg -l, dpkg -L...) * I start gnome-software. * I click on the "installed" tab to get the list of installed applications. expected result: the freshly installed application is in the list actual result: the freshly installed application is not in the list. If I reboot my computer and start gnome-software, the installed application appears in the list. It looks like there is some kind of cache that is not refreshed at the right moment. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629600 Title: Installed application from .deb does not appear unless Ubuntu is restarted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1629600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
