[Bug 1766217] Re: software updater presents an empty panel for updating

[Scott Palmer]

I am having a similar issue where Software Center is showing an empty frame in 18.10.  Software Center issues like this originate back in 16.04 days.  Much of the same issues exist today.
Desktop support by Canonical seems abysmal now.  I guess their IoT and Server farm markets are 99% of their income so Desktop doesn't truly matter to them.
