Update: The 6.0.3 update fixed my Discover problem!

Hi,

kinfo reports the following:
Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-26-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz
Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Konsole reports version 24.02.1

Same problem using Wayland.
Although if I run plasma-discover from console, I get the following message: (which I did not get using X11)
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

But I noticed in Wayland, kinfo doesn't report NVIDIA gpu, so perhaps unrelated to the discover problem.

You could enter kinfo in Konsole.
And in Konsole's -> "Hamburger menu" -> Help -> About Konsole you can see the KDE Gear version.

You could additionally test if it makes a difference whether you use a Wayland or X11 session (you can choose this in the lower left corner at the log in screen).

I've been using command line pkcon to update since discover stopped working.
So I think I have plasma 6.0.2 and KDE Gear 24.02.1. But how would I double check?

And I just created a new user account, and the same thing with Discover occurs.

Welcome.

Discover works for me in Plasma 6 (KDE neon - both fresh installation and upgraded from Plasma 5, Arch and openSUSE Tumbleweed -> all in X11 )…

• Did you update to Plasma 6.0.2 and KDE Gear 24.02.1 ?
• Did you try if this also occurs in a new user account?

[cshXhorder]

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I have the same problem.
No errors at all, it seems to be running, but no window.

I did a fresh install of KDE Neon when 6.0 came out and everything seemed to work pretty well other than the major know issues. But even now, after a good amount of the major issues have been fixed, my discover seems to still be out of commission.

When clicking on discover or launching it via the "plasma-discover" command, they both seem to hang and do nothing. I can see the Discover processes in System Monitor with no CPU usage, but everytime I open Discover it creates a new one meaning I need to force close the application. I do get some output in the terminal, as shown below, but can't make heads or tails of it. Any help would be appreciated.

plasma-discover output:
libs QList("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins", "/usr/bin")
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: OdrsReviewsBackend: Fetch ratings: true
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x55ff96ce0b80)

P.S. It then seems to just hang and never exits meaning I need to force close it with Ctrl-C
