Robert, is that the same snapd-glib issue that in the other bug you comment on some days ago?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Are you running this under Unity or GNOME Shell? Looking at the error messages this appears to have been caused by the shell-extensions module failing using a NULL shell version.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Also please confirm exactly which version of GNOME Software this is.

[Lutz Lüdemann (lutzl)]

this happened to me today too, gnome-software version 3.30.6
