Bug ID: 402897
Summary: Give more feedback when fetching updates
Product: Discover
Version: 5.14.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: felipepe...@web.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
To be honest I don't like using discover to search for updates because it does
not give any feedback on the update progress. If I use apt update from the cli,
it gives me some visual indication that it is actually doing something. I am in
China right now where some repositories are blocked by the Great Firewall. That
means that Discover doesn't give me any response until the connection times
out.
SUGGESTION
How about having some load indicator showing which repositories have been
checked and how many are pending and maybe even a live count of found
upgradable packages?
This has been addressed in Bug 375786 (no clue how to link, sorry) but nothing
has been done in that regard and it is one of the major reasons why I prefer
the command line over Discover.
