Thanks for the help. I did run "journalctl -b -1" after a failed try to use Gnome Software to update to latest software packages. And it seems to give me the log from the failed software update. I found the following in the log that looks quite suspicious
python3[1168]: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/bin/dnf' python3[1168]: can't communicate with ABRT daemon, is it running? [Errno 2] No such file or directory python3[1168]: error sending data to ABRT daemon:
That does seem to be the issue.
I created an F29 VM. When I booted I logged in and found the process /usr/sbin/abrtd -d -s running.
I killed it and tried to do an update with the gnome-software tool and got the same result as you did.
What is the output of
systemctl --no-pager -l status abrtd
It is active and running, but that of course is after a normal boot up. Should ABRT also be running in the special boot process when Gnome Software tries to update the software packages?
I don't know. But, I'm guessing that it my be dying at some point after you hit the button to start the update.
Assuming you're now rebooted after a previous failed attempt what is the output of
journalctl -b -1 --unit=abrtd
It says "No entries"
But, what about the error message I pointed out earlier TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
