KDE Discover - disable rpm repositories?

Help
1

Is there any way to disable rpm repositories in Discover? For some reason PackageKit is terminally broken on all my machines (coredump at start), which causes Discover to through errors you can’t ignore. Annoying. Not a big deal, as I install and update everyting from the terminal using zypper anyway (opensuse tumbleweed). Don’t use flatpak either.

However, Discover is convenient for stuff from the KDE store. Is there a way to have discover ignore the normal repositories without breaking anything?

When you uncheck something, you need to type the root password.

Isn’t that the same as zypper mr -d? Which is definitely not what one would want in this scenario?

My apologies. I tried and you are right. Uncheck this on discover do a sudo zypper mr -d.

So, I don’t know any method to do your request.

You could try moving the packagekit backend to some backup location.

Here on KDE Neon most backends other than packagekit are installed as optional packages so maybe Discover can even cope with packagekit not being present.

On KDE Linux it likely does not use it either, so it might be OK as long as it finds any

I can uninstall discover6-backend-packagekit but that also wants to remove AppStream. That’s also a KDE thing I think. Is that safe to remove?

I think that you can’t uninstall AppStream (all packages with i+ requires AppStream):

If you see is required (among other packages) by plasma6-workspace and kf6-frameworkintegration-plugin .

Yes, seems that you can:
