Description
Linux Mint 20 Xfce.
If I try to open it, it doesn't.
If I open it via terminal to check the debug messages, it's written:
MintInstall: Detected system architecture: 'x86_64'
Failed to register: Timeout was reached
A temporary workaround is to open a terminal and type:
killall mintinstall
and then it will open.

Research direction
Reproduce on Linux Mint 20 Xfce by launching Software Manager as mintinstall, then inspect the reported Failed to register: Timeout was reached message. Use the terminal output and the killall mintinstall workaround to trace the startup failure; done means the manager opens normally without requiring that workaround.
