[Desktop] Discover Hangs Downloading Firefox Update along with snapd Update

[life0riley]

Discover hung for some time today downloading Firefox.
I took the following steps to move forward and take updates.
I clicked Cancel in Discover to stop the process. There was no change, so I clicked the x to close Discover.
Then I opened a terminal and typed 'sudo snap refresh' and I was able to take the updates.

$ sudo snap refresh

I thought I remember someone saying this was resolved for KDE 6.7, but maybe that was only for Neon. In the mean time updating from the terminal works.
There is nothing to solve here since I used the terminal to update.
I'll search the bug reports more extensively when I have some time later.

Here is my system info:
Operating System: Kubuntu 26.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.29.0
Qt Version: 6.11.2
Kernel Version: 7.3.0-10-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: XPS 8900

Again I updated from the terminal and was able to move forward. I'm searching for the relevant bug report for this.

I should have tried to reproduce this before posting.

I just updated my Kubuntu 26.10 virtual guest. Firefox Snap downloaded and updated normally.

In my previous post I was not able to cancel the Discover update process by clicking the cancel button in the Discover app. I should have hunted for the Discover process in the terminal and killed it from there. Then I could have tried to reproduce.

I guess I was a little impatient yesterday.

2 days back my snap refresh (from terminal) gave the same INFO waiting for automatic snapd restart...
i left it for some time and eventually it refreshed
