MX Linux Forum

Today I launched Discover for the first time.
The process of updating packages is hidden from the user. In fairness, it should be noted that the program worked 100%, although I stopped it ahead of schedule.
But Synaptic and MX-Updater are much more informative and convenient.

Are there any updates on the topic? I have the same issue.

What i tried is typing: sudo nala purge plasma-discover and then: sudo nala install plasma-discover --install-suggests --install-recommends. Did not help.

What I have noticed is that in Discover's settings is that the backends are missing: Flatpak backend, Packagekit backend ans Snap backend (attached screenshot). I have Flatpak and fwudp backend installed. Also packagekit and apper are installed.

Tried reinstalling the backends, also did not help.

I'm having the same problem. I just installed MX-KDE last week, and Discover has never worked from the start.
Are there any updates?

Same here. I'm new to MX and was looking around when I discovered this. The discover application never worked since install.

"Never worked" is rather useless feedback, it works for me, it works for other people, how exactly is not working? What do you try to install or update, what is the error message?

Hello to all,
2 out of 10 installations of MX KDE, at least, I get that error on KDE Discover.
I have tried many solutions found on the internet, even if there are few and the only one that works is : Sometimes I also have to first do this :
MX Repo Mangarer -- Individual sources -- Restore original APT sources

There were some reports about store.kde.org having problems. Could be related.
If site works, try updating/installing addons directly (just install ocs-url)

I haven't used Discover... well, never. MX's apt-notifier and muon are my tools of choice (+ disabled Discover in systray and notifications)

I had the same problem after a new install, MX 21.3 KDE. The reinstall appstream solution mentioned by FLOW worked for me. No problems now.

Thanks FLOW.
