*** Bug 472908 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** it's the same issue here too but plasma-discover-update don't update anything Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.3-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 7,1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 82MF System Version: IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 I also have this same issue with multiple clients who use fedora, having wanted to move away from windows. I have downloaded and install enabled, but they don't actually download and install, only notify there is an update. Many tech illiterate people and those that don't understand updates won't even know about doing updates, especially if they are used to windows doing updates automatically for them. This could result in security updates and bug fixes being missed out.

Created attachment 159962 [details] logs of manual run of plasma-discover-update via journalctl SUMMARY On openSUSE Kalpa, we only use Discover to handle the installation and management of flatpaks and fwupd, setting Updates to run Automatically in the "Software Update" kcm appears to work fine for fwupd, but is non-functional for flatpak/flathub STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable flathub repository 2. Install some flatpaks 3. Set to automatically update software daily in the "Software Update" kcm OBSERVED RESULT Flatpaks do not get updated automatically. The Notification that updates are available works just fine, but there is no automatic download and installation of them. EXPECTED RESULT Discover checks for updates of flatpaks from enabled repositories, downloads, and installs them, on a daily schedule SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Kalpa 20230625 (Linux 6.3.9-1-default) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Running `plasma-discover-update` manually in a terminal produces the expected output. Please see attached logs.
