[SOLVED] Plasma-Discover fails to load

[Buddlespit]

I've had an off and on (intermittent) problem with loading Plasma-Discover. It may work for a week, then stops loading, then works for a day or two. It's been broken for about a week and a half. My research has lead me to a flatpak/snap-backends issue. I was able to get Discover up and running by changing the program launch command (KDE Menu Editor) from

Program: plasma-discover

to

Programs: plasma-discover --backends snap,packagekit,flatpak,fwupd,kns %F

. After first run, KDE Menu Editor will move the --backends part to command line arguments or you can add it yourself initially. The secret is to move snap to anywhere but right after packagekit in --backends.

mine is plasma-discover --mode Browsing %F

I have had no issues with Discover opening or running.


Oops -- my main PC is running neon Testing, for Plasma 6.5 betas (I ***reeeaaaallllyyy*** want the clipboard bookmarks feature right now lolol!)

My Laptop running neon User has plasma-discover %F. Again, zero issues.

I (am trying) tried your cli and it starts, but doesn't completely load. It stops at the end of

pat@Pats-Main:~$ plasma-discover --mode Browsing %F
