Public bug reported: "ubuntu-software" will not launch. The icon will flash as if it were going to launch, but then disappears.
This error is thrown: Gs-WARNING **: failed to open plugin /usr/lib/gs- plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: /usr/lib/gs- plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory However this error happens even on a working installation. So, this error would not seem to be the issue.
