I’m unable to upgrade to Fedora 43 via Discover, because the banner merely disappears when I click the button to: [1] [2]
Desire
Consequently, I am updating via DNF5’s CLI. [4] However, as @broadstairs corroborates, plasma-discover continues to operate in the background, and we see no way to prevent this, [5] except by sending a SIGTERM: [6]
Once I start Discover, which is only used for Flatpak management, the program never ends. When I click the close button on the screen, it disappears into the background, rather than ending. In order for it not to continue, I have to use KSysGuard to kill it.
Why is there no option to exit the program completely? I only need to use it rarely for Flatpak, and do not ever use it for general system maintenance: there are better tools for this, so I need it to end, completely, when I’ve finished. Can anyone explain why it works this way, and how I might go about getting it changed?
