Desktops / Re: Plasma Discover issue

Last post by rektal - Today at 11:19:15 AM

I am using Muon as an alternative package manager.
The problem is that I use Sparky 8 KDE and I have to use Discover to update flatpak and snap apps.

There is alternative of plasma discover its called gnome-software.

Or synaptic manager sudo apt install synaptic-manger or synaptic.

If cannot be fixed use that for flatpak install gnome-software-flatpak for snap gnome-software-snap.

You need to wait for fixed that behavior of sparky.

Try also in synaptic manager force version.

Synaptic->settings->settings->distribution-> force distribution version something like that.

Then apply ok and update.

It didn't help.
I used Timeshift to restore my system but after update Discover fails again.

This happened when I used APTus full update.
When I used APTus safe update system works fine.

Simply you need change apt mirror to local one.

You can also write apt --fix-broken install.

I tried to install Plasma Discover using APTus but it failed.
Plasma Discover is not installed. This info shows APTus AppCenter.

I think that this issue is related to the latest updates.

Plasma Discover is not working anymore.
Muon shows that it is virtual package.
It has happened after last updates.

How to fix it?
