I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 32-bit. After each install for years one of the first thing I do is uninstall some of the applications that I don't need to preserve some downloading/installing of applications that I don't need.

I opened Ubuntu Software, click on Install tab and now the problem appears. Every two seconds whole screen gets to gray and refreshing appears which takes 2 seconds. This loops endlessly. It is very frustrating, because Ubuntu Software is unusable in my case.

I have asked the question on forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2326701&p=13498876 and one of suggestion was to remove the software and install it back.

I did:
sudo apt install gnome-software
sudo apt purge gnome-software
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt install gnome-software

Started Ubuntu Software and the problem remains the same.

P.S. New problem appeared now Ubuntu Software icon on Launcher is not the same (orange color), but it has changed (white color). But this is not huge problem, just annoyance.
