After installing 16.04, Ubuntu Software is always empty as shown in the screenshot. How can I fix this?

Change the Download from server in Software & Updates. I had mine set on to a nearby Swedish one (which maybe itself has not updated yet). I changed to a more official looking UK server and Ubuntu software is now working.

I do not know why gnome software does not show as many software however I do know that there is definitely no way to change the software it shows using the GUI if it can be done using the command line then I do not know how to do it

Ubuntu – Can’t start Ubuntu Software!

I just had the same problem with the same symptoms. Apparently I had a package queued up to install. I needed to reset this by deleting the install-queue file found in the ~/.local/share/gnome-software/ directory. To do this open a terminal window and type this command:

rm ~/.local/share/gnome-software/install-queue

If this doesn't fix your problem, you may have a corrupted configuration file, in which case, I'd simply delete all the files in that directory and let them be rebuilt. That can be done using this command:

rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-software
