Can't install software using gnome-software on Fedora 29
I have recently installed Fedora 29 on HP ProBook 420 G2, previously Windows 7.
The installation completed with no known issues, however now when I try to use gnome-software to install any software, the installation begins and always reaches 54% before showing the notification
software_name cannot be installed as not supported
I can install the same software using the dnf command in terminal, but I would like, if possible, to be able to use gnome-software instead.
I have tried reinstalling gnome-software and packageKit, and also tried
sudo pkcon refresh force -c -1
But neither worked.
Ive tried googling around and can't find too much info (that worked) from the first few google pages. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Or is there a similar GUI application that performs the same as gnome-software?
linux installation fedora gnome

Has Fedora been updated? If so, then try removing the gnome-software cache, ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/95444/…

Thanks for reply, until there is a solution I will use dnfdragora, its visually a disaster but at least it works. Thanks in advance for any future answers
