I just installed KDE Neon freshly over a convoluted Ubuntu system. Everything works fine except when I try to install applications via discover, the software center. I open the application and it all works fine, however once I start typing in the search box and results start appearing I see a little semi-opaque box near the bottom of the app saying 'The Packagekit daemon has crashed' If I then click anywhere on the app it closes the application, with the box saying 'discover has closed unexpectedly. I've reinstalled the application through the command 'apt-get --reinstall install discover' though I may have got that wrong. Any tips on what I should do would be appreciated.
Would it be possible to get a backtrace of PackageKit at least?
Also what version of neon.
I can confirm. Using neon Developer 5.9.90. Furthermore, I checked ksysguard and packagekitd is still open after the message. So this is a discover bug, not a packagekit bug.
I cannot reproduce this issue. A lot has changed since 2017, both in Discover, and Neon. Could you please re-test?
