Recently I installed endeavour os kde plasma. When I was installing the softwares I noticed discover was missing. When I searched in pamac it showed install option. Discover app comes built-in or should we need to download it??
Discover is pretty amazing frontend for Flathub, so if you are into that, then it’s a good idea to install it as an updater / update notifier for flatpaks.
You’re right, I was sure I had it installed but apparently I didn’t.
Hum, what strange is that before you should have packagekit-qt5 installed for using Discover. Apparently last time i reinstalled my OS, i forget about it but Discover didn’t seem to care anymore
After some investigation :
I use generally pacman -Qm for knowing if i have “foo” package installed. Look like its not a good way for doing it.
You right. He complain about not having any backends. After installing flatpak, discover work as intended. I think reading to fast and seeing peoples saying to install packagekit-qt5 misled me.
Sometime i’m a dumb-dumb
Yes, i can even see “Discover - PackageKit backend” in the listing.
In settings, i can see the 4 repos and i can’t uncheck them. Also i always set Flatpak as the default source, maybe its related ?
Since i use yay for updating, i should probably remove packagekit-qt5.
