Vincent Foulon <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #35 from Vincent Foulon <[email protected]> --- I have a similar issue on Kubuntu with Discover 6.3.4 (I hesitated to create a new issue in the first place, tell me if I should do that instead) Operating System: Kubuntu 25.04 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.3 Kernel Version: 6.14.0-35-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Some people reported the same issue on various forums. From what I collected, the issue I'm having is caused by the snap backend. In the command line, the order of the backends do matter as shown in this post (which I can replicate on my machine): https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-discover-not-launching/12503/39 > I turned on the pattern recognition part of my brain, played around a bit, > and it seems like it hangs indefinitely at startup whenever --backends > contains snap right after packagekit, otherwise it works: > > plasma-discover --backends kns,packagekit,snap,flatpak,fwupd # Hangs. Btw > this is the default on my machine. > plasma-discover --backends kns,packagekit,snap # Hangs > plasma-discover --backends packagekit,snap # Hangs > plasma-discover --backends snap,packagekit # Works > plasma-discover --backends packagekit,kns,snap # Works > plasma-discover --backends snap,fwupd,packagekit On another forum, a user suggested to remove the snap backend entirely to fix the issue, which I'm not happy with: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/currently-supported-releases/kubuntu-24-04-nitpick-noble-lts/software-support-bg/679024-plasma-discover-not-starting > sudo apt purge plasma-discover-backend-snap -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
