Bug ID: 441954
Summary: Discover gets stuck for a long time during fetching
updates
Product: Discover
Version: 5.18.6
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Updates (interactive)
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: davidkace...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
OVERVIEW
When Discover is fetching updates, it takes a lot of time compared to when
getting updates with the native package manager (ZYpp) or pkcon client.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install PackageKit-backend-zypp
2. Run plasma-discover --mode Update
OBSERVED RESULT
Fetching updates takes disproportionately long time (~10 min).
EXPECTED RESULT
Fetching updates takes approximately same time as native pkg mgr or pkcon
client.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
openSUSE version: Leap 15.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.12.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The problem goes away when switching back-ends from PackageKit-backend-zypp ->
PackageKit-backend-dnf. This might indicate a bug in the ZYpp back-end,
however, with DNF, there are no respositories set in Discover settings except
"lvfs - Linux Vendor Firmware Service" so DNF has got some mitigating
circumstance.
Moreover, If I disable all repositories while using the ZYpp back-end, the
problem goes away too.
I've also checked I'm not stuck while running "pkcon get-updates" so likely the
problem is not within the ZYpp back-end but in Discover.
