Another way to trigger this failure is to run `flatpak update` while Discover is doing an update. *** Bug 480761 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This error is all over the internet making us look bad: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22aborted+due+to+failure%22&t=ffab&ia=web. My wife hits is semi-regularly too. I think we need to take greater pains to protect the user from this error, either by doing what we can on our side to fix it, or else at least wrapping it in more user-friendly padding like we do for packagekit update errors. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/937 Git commit fcb723d3b988b9afdfe97a884b16ad8736916943 by Akseli Lahtinen.

DiscoverWindow.qml: Port message OverlaySheet to Dialog and make it friendlier Currently the passiveMessage dialog in DiscoverWindow is a bit too in-your-face with the errors, causing sadness and confusion with users. It also used Kirigami.OverlaySheet even it is more of a dialog. This MR makes it use Kirigami.Dialog features and hides the technical details behind a button, plus gives it a friendlier message.

So, is this bug report meant to be closed, given that users may still run into the problem, just with a nicer error message? The MR that makes Discover do Flatpak updates sequentially (and thus fixing the issue of Flatpak/OSTree not liking parallel updates) is still open, and the last comment on it says that it does fix this issue and is ready to be merged, although that was over a year ago now: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/281 Yes, this wraps the error message in some bubble-wrap. A fix to make it not happen in the first place needs to come from Flatpak. It's not Discover's bug, it's Flatpak's bug, and Discover is just passing it on to the user. |
