Bug ID: 460406
Summary: Discover hangs indefinitely when looking for updates
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Flatpak Backend
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: terry.forsy...@iplawpro.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, jgrul...@redhat.com,
trav...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I open Discover, it automatically starts looking for updates and hangs
indefinitely.
I found a temporary work around. I renamed
/usr/lib/qt/plugins/discover/flatpak-backend.so to something else
(flatpak-backend.so.bak) so that the file is not recognized by Discover. The
problem with that solution, if my understanding is correct, is that Discover
will not be able to find updates for Flatpaks.
This bug does NOT occur on my Neon system, which also is updated to version
5.26.0.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover.
OBSERVED RESULT
Discover hangs indefinitely looking for updates.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover will either find updates or not, and indicate whether updates are
available.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.0.1-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug may or may not be related to the bug in bug report 460405 I just
filed. After I implemented the temporary solution of renaming
flatpak-backend.so to flatpak-backend.so.bak, Discover now indicates whether
updates are available or the packages (other than flatpaks) are up to date.
However, the Discover Notifier in the system tray now always indicates that
updates are available, even if within Discover "Up to date" is indicated.
