I’m running KDE Plasma 6.7.3 on Fedora 44. For some reason, Discover doesn’t open at all after the first time. Is there a fix for this issue or should I file this as a bug report?
what happens if you run plasma-discover in a terminal window?
absolutely nothing
i mean what happens in the console window?
does it give you any messages?
does it even recognize the command?
does which plasma-dolphin point you to the binary file?
Probably it’s already running:
ps -ef | grep discover
or just kill and start again:
killall -9 plasma-discover
plasma-discover
So question would be why it’s running but not showing? I assume you also not see any discover systrayicon?
Open this app and go to journald Log.
Then post what you seen when Discover doesn’t open.
It did show the Discover icon in the system tray, but the window wouldn’t open at all
But, when I updated my system yesterday, Discover just started working normally again
I don’t know if that app was supposed to be installed, but it’s not, and Discover says it’s not in any repository
Weirdly enough, after updating a few system packages yesterday, Discover started working normally again
it come pre-installed on kubuntu… it’s odd that fedora does even have it, but maybe they have their own GUI log viewer built in, or they considered it “bloat” and expect fedora users to just use the terminal for log viewing.
