Bug 392737

Hello,

I want to use plasma-discover with LXQt.
Is this something which should work without needing to install half of the whole KDE, or is it not really intended to work with a different DE?

If I execute “sudo apt install plasma-discover plasma-discover-backend-flatpak” the packages shown at  the end getting installed.


If I try to start plasma-discover I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qml/DiscoverWindow.qml:194 Type DiscoverDrawer unavailable
qrc:/qml/DiscoverDrawer.qml:107 Type ProgressView unavailable
qrc:/qml/ProgressView.qml:5 module "org.kde.kquickcontrolsaddons" is not installed

Errors when loading the GUI
setting currentApplicationBackend PackageKitBackend(0x5632d0a08ee0)


If I then install also “qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrolsaddons”, plasma-discover starts, but the GUI is not showing any packages and I get more errors:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said, I know that plasma-discover is designed for KDE, but it would be really cool if it also would work on LXQt.

Btw.: I also have set “KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1” in my environment.
