Fedora40 gnome-software Stuck in the “Downloading Software directory”


as the title ,I can’t use the gnome-software…

Can you try from the Terminal :

dnf clean all && dnf -y update ?

I tried, but it didn’t work

What do you mean by “It didn’t work” can you give more information ? Is there a package conflict or what do the error say?

Post the text for the Terminal here in a </> preformatted text. Do not worry abou the language.

I mean nothing happens,when I open the gnome-software still show that the software directory is being downloaded

sudo dnf clean all && dnf -y update
[sudo] nuwanda 的密码:
0 个文件已删除
错误:运行此命令需要管理员特权(多数系统下是root用户)。

you mean this? It’s strange why I used sudo and said I didn’t have permission?

sudo dnf clean all && sudo dnf -y update
