Ubuntu Gnome Software Update Hangs

Refreshing seems to take forever

Gnome-software uses packagekit to do it's stuff. So the first thing to check is:-

pkcon update

If that is working OK but no resolution within the gnome Software app, kill the hung application and clear the cache :-

killall gnome-software
rm -fr ~/.cache/gnome-software/ 
gnome-software

You'll only receive email when they publish something new.
