I'm not getting update notifications (since a couple of months) for gnome-software though available updates (e.g. for snaps and flatpaks) show in the application and automatic updates are enabled.

e.g. OS Updates like this one or nvidia driver updates or one of my snaps/flatpaks (audacity, godot, etc.) enter image description here

I'm a bit lost at finding the right log to see what error keeps those notifications from appearing.

gnome-software 3.38.1 on Ubuntu 21.04

That's what I did find after a reboot:

  • perhaps there are no updates available... which apps specifically? Please [edit] your question with further detail to make your question useful. – graham Aug 30 '21 at 15:42
  • @24601 What does work though, is the notification after I've installed OS updates when the system needed a restart. For the time being I consider setting myself a reminder to check for updates every week or so. – Zin Sep 01 '21 at 16:44
  • I have a similar problem. The Software says that it need to upgrade chromium and opera but when i click update, says snap does not have update available – Kaspacainoombro Nov 21 '21 at 04:26

The Gnome devs know best, so you should ask them. Check an answer on gitlab.

We don’t support gnome-software 40.x any more upstream, sorry. The latest stable release is gnome-software 41.1.

I suppose that the issue is fixed once Ubuntu decides to update their gnome-software version. You could always use Arch Linux if you feel updates trickle in too slowly.
