I have reinstalled Ubuntu 23.10 three times, but I cannot get the App Center to open. App Store opens as a blank white screen. I have booted in safe mode and run the fix packages program. After rebooting, the App Center opens as normal. Everything works, but after shutting down the next time I power up I get the same problem.

How can I make this fix persistent without needing to boot into safe mode every time?

In Ubuntu 23.10 and later the App Center app is a snap package that is called snap-store. You can reload the list of available software in the App Center by closing the app and then pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal and running the following commands:

killall snap-store
snap-store # reopen the App Center

This usually solves the problem. If it still doesn't work try reinstalling the App Center app.

sudo apt update
sudo apt purge snap-store
sudo apt install snap-store

I was having the same issue, but I use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS version, when I type the command that @karel gaves:

killall snap-store
snap-store # reopen the App Center

this message appears:

Gtk-Message: 17:33:51.258: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it.

No provider of glFenceSync found.  Requires one of:

when I go to

Settings ⇨ Apps ⇨ App Center ⇨ Permissions and turn off opengl,

the App Center just works fine.

When I run with a discrete video card it opens.

Right-click the mouse and choose "Launch using discrete Graphics Card"
