I am running Artful Ardvaark on a virtual machine and so far it seems a lot like Neon, updated to the 4.10.0-26 Linux kernel. So far, after just a little experimentation, the only problem I have come across is with Discover. I tried to download the Ksudoku program, which I like, but Discover would not install it. It says it did, but the index (using dashboard mode) does not show it, nor did it create a new Games division. Since neither Muon nor Synaptic are present in Discover, it's obvious that Kubuntu wants Discover to be the main package manager. Fine, but it has had so many problems that I feel feel the developers may have to dump it before too long. It doesn't close properly, either. I use Neon on top of Kubuntu 16.04 with the updated Linux, and recently Discover has worked well. Perhaps the developers could check out what changes have been made in Neon developers edition that have not been applied to Kubuntu 17.10 and see where the problem lies. Other than that, I've had no problems but will continue checking.

After reading your post, I installed KSudoku 1.3 in 16.04 with plasma 5.8.7 using the terminal. No Games section here as well.
Its .desktop file is in /usr/share/applications/kde4 and the last line isCode:Categories=Qt;KDE;Game;LogicGame;
Kubuntu 20.04 -
I also installed it last night. Works fine and I do have a GAMES section listed under the Dash.If you think Education is expensive, try ignorance.

OK, it was installed but not easily visible. I had to go into Dolphin, click on Root, then usr, then Games, and there it was. Shouldn't have had to do that, though, it's not user friendly. It doesn't appear on the list of All Applications, either. I presume this is a little bug that needs to be worked on. I've never had any trouble installing this game before, so I thought it would be worth discussing. I'll mark this thread SOLVED, even though the problem hasn't been solved yet. At least I know where it is now.Comment

Update: After installing Gimp on Aardvark, lo and behold a new Games title appeared on the index (dashboard) and Ksudoku was inside. Discover still doesn't close properly though.Comment

I'm running Kubuntu 17.04 stock with the latest updates applied. I have to agree that Discover is very buggy. I'm wondering where Kubuntu developers would like bug reports on Discover. I would like to help the Kubuntu team before the release of 17.10, but I'm not sure where I can provide the most help for developers with bug reports.
When I first installed Kubuntu 17.04 Discover seemed to fail while doing an upgrade of some packages. I fixed that with apt-get upgrade from the CLI. I have also noticed that I can rarely close Discover without it crashing as well. Also, there are times where I can find a program using apt-cache, but not find it as easily in Discover. Anyway, I also hope they can get some fixes into Discover. Considering how important it would be to new users after they install, it seems like this needs to be a high priority, and perhaps it is.
I will say that I am enjoying running Kubuntu and KDE and a Linux distro again after taking 4 years off stuck in Windows only world.Comment

So far I have been using to Discover to update Artful and have had no problems whatsoever. I don't understand what the bar graphs are trying to show, however. Apart from my original problem installing Ksudoku (works fine now) I have not had problems with the few programs I have installed to test 17.10. I think Discover has possibilities as a GUI package manager and hope whatever is causing the bugs will soon be worked out. If not, the terminal commands work well.Comment

Yea not sure how that progress bar works or what it is trying to show, either. They must've taken design inspiration from WindowsOriginally posted by oldgeek View Post
