Contact your distro.

after removing ~/.local/share/gnome-software and restart problem solved
That does not solve it for me (I do not have a ~/.local/share/gnome-software ). And I'm not sure how to "contact my distro". Is there a bug tracker for Kubuntu ?
Please run `appstreamcli status` and attach the output. You might also want to attach the output of `sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose`.
(In reply to Jan from comment #3) > after removing ~/.local/share/gnome-software and restart problem solved more details: -first I installed kubuntu 16.04.1 with software centre empty unfuctional -so I tried install ubuntu 16.04.1 - same problem with software centre empty unfuctional -I discovered on askubuntu.com that the problem is with GUI software centre so I remove ~/.local/share/gnome-software and restart , and this solved it commands: $ killall gnome-software $ rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-software -then I installed secondary Desktop Enviroment KDE Plasma and after login to KDE Plasma desktop , the Software centre worked OK :-)

The AppStream information looks good. Can you find all software you need using the CLI? E.g. using `appstreamcli search web`?

Okay, so this is a Discover bug, or an incarnation of https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/issues/177 then.

As described in Bug 376659 I'm new to Linux. So what does "resolved downstream" mean? Is there a fix waiting for delivery? Is someone working on this? I can not find any "~/.local/share/gnome-software". And I don't know how to "contact my distro".

My experience with "Software centre - Discover" ubuntu gui utility is quite negative, it seems to me it is alpha version with many, many bugs. So as workaround it is better to use commandline apt-get , or Synaptic Package Manager for now. so "~/.local/share/gnome-software" file is in standard ubuntu , so no use to search it in kubuntu.

Software centre is still empty. plasma-discover shows "0 installierte Elemente" means "0 installed apps". The Slide-Show shows VLC, krita KDE-Marble, ... and I a click on that shows the overview and installation page of the program. Semms to be normal functional. I can see some plasma-widgets, and some fonts, all other categories are empty. I can search for updates, but no Application is found by the search-function. installing muon have no effect. appstreamcli refresh-index --force have no effect. there is no ~/.local/share/gnome-software on this system. Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS KDE Framework 5.18-0 Qt 5.5.1 xcb windowsystem Any suggestions?

Hi, I have been digging a bit into this, this is what I found so far: - xenial provides discover 5.6.4, I built 5.6.5 in a PPA for xenial, that doesn't fix the issue - if I'm not mistaken, this is not the packagekit issue pointed out by Matthias (thanks for the info) because the packagekit issue doesn't affect the version in xenial; it was affecting zesty but it was already fixed - from a clean installation from the kubuntu iso 16.04.2 I can reproduce the bug *without* updating the system - from a clean installation from the kubuntu iso 16.04.1 (without updates) you won't see the bug, however, as soon as you type "appstreamcli refresh" you will get discover listing of installed packages broken So I presume this is a "clockwork bomb" bug either in the old discover (or appstream) versions provided by the Kubuntu LTS. I doubt very much this is a packaging issue.
This is highly likely https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-discover/+bug/1663695 which should be resolved soonish. You can help fixing it by testing the AppStream package in -updates-proposed.
Sorry I won't be able to test it. There were enough other issues with 16.04 that I switched back to 14.04.

I am on a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04.1 LTS My software center Découvrir (Discover) is empty. I read all the thread, and tested what it is proposed but no result. Waiting for a solution in the stable repository ; meanwhile, I load my new software in a terminal with apt Cheers
