I want to add Snap to the Discover repository, so first thing I did was follow the instructions found here:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/tutorials/install-the-daemon/debian/
Then, I installed the backend via sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-snap
Despite doing all of this, I still can’t seem to select the Snap repository in the Discover settings no matter how many times I click the checkbox:
Any help on getting this fixed would be much appreciated.
debian does not come with snap installed… so installing the backend for discover will not give you access to something that is not installed.
on kubuntu there are a host of installed snap packages needed to support running snap packages… no idea which packages are needed for debian.
It also shows not enabled on mine (not debian) but it works fine when you search/update software(I can see snap packages), could this be also true for you?
Correct. The Snap Store website has step-by-step instructions to install the necessary packages which I followed here: https://snapcraft.io/docs/tutorials/install-the-daemon/debian/
Even if this is true, shouldn’t we still fill out a bug report as this is, in the strictest technical sense, a legitimate bug?
It has been already reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494738
