Description leftcrane 2019-03-12 04:30:18 UTC

The update plasmoid show a number of packages, but when you click view updates, you don't see any apt updates in Discover. 

However, if you disable and then enable ANY apt source, the updates will appear. So every time I want to update I have to go to sources, then toggle a random apt repo on and off.

How odd!

Comment 2 Aleix Pol 2019-03-18 16:25:07 UTC

What happens if you press F5 on the updates page?

Comment 3 leftcrane 2019-03-18 17:04:57 UTC

It's finally working with the latest update, but it just takes about 30 seconds to load all the updates. 

If there is no way to make this faster (apt is lighting-fast), I'd recommend having some progress animations. Right now, it doesn't provide any indication that it's actually doing something (except a mysterious grayed out update button).

Thanks for the report leftcrane, it appears this is now resolved.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.

I haven't noticed this bug recently with Discover but I also haven't been using it very much since it usually halts midway when performing updates. 

I've switched to native packages only because all the software stores packagekit are simply unusable.

Comment 7 leftcrane 2020-12-08 02:24:15 UTC

all the software stores *based* on packagekit.

Comment 8 leftcrane 2020-12-08 02:27:16 UTC

I've changed it to resolved, given your report and my experience (although my experience alone is insufficient, since as I said I haven't used it much.) So it's "probably" resolved.
