Description Prasad Murthy 2019-01-18 21:03:39 UTC

SUMMARY
When I tried to install vlc flatpak from flathub via discover on a live kde neon session, package installation fails without notification. Upon trying install directly via konsole, I was able to see the error message

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start a live session of kde 15.15 beta using kde neon git stable iso
2. open discover
3. add flathub as flatpak source
4. search for vlc flatpak package and Install


OBSERVED RESULT
flatpak package fetched but install does not succeed and the user is not alerted by any means.


EXPECTED RESULT
Discover has to alert the user that it was not able to install the package and also if possible the error string from flatpak backend.

In this case, the problem was insufficient disk space. the Flatpak CLI said:

error: Failed to install org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.12: min-free-space-size 500MB would be exceeded

But Discover did not display any error message.
