I use LXQt and wanted to use discover (flatpak version) on leap 42.3 to manage flatpaks. sadly I got this when running: flatpak run org.kde.discover libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory libGL error: failed to load driver: r600 The file "/home/user/.var/app/org.kde.discover/data/knewstuff3/discover_ktexteditor_codesnippets_core.knsregistry" could not be opened. falling back applications backend to -1 error: "Premature end of document." in QUrl("http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml") trying to load "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" from "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" org.kde.knewstuff.core: "Host download.kde.org not found" kns error "/app/etc/xdg/discover_ktexteditor_codesnippets_core.knsrc" "Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed" qml: message: discover_ktexteditor_codesnippets_core.knsrc: Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed trying to load "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/http.so" from "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/http.so" I tried to work around by granting rjghts, but this seems to be only the easy part of the problem: flatpak run --socket=system-bus --socket=x11 --share=ipc --device=dri --filesystem=host --share=network org.kde.discover The file "/home/user/.var/app/org.kde.discover/data/knewstuff3/discover_ktexteditor_codesnippets_core.knsregistry" could not be opened. falling back applications backend to -1 trying to load "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" from "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" trying to load "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/http.so" from "/usr/lib/plugins/kf5/kio/http.so" kf5.kio.kio_http: Can't communicate with kded_kcookiejar! kio_http_cache_cleaner: Already running! QThreadStorage: Thread 0x2723790 exited after QThreadStorage 14 destroyed
window pops up, but i cant do anything useful like change settings or whatever
Yes, Discover on flatpak isn't able to do this at the moment, we'd need to make the bundle know more about flatpak. I'm pretty sure it's doable but needs some work. Keep in mind that Discover is available on opensuse on the other hand.
thank you for your reply. Its sadly not available in a version that can manage flatpak. ;-( Is there any way I could help?
https://cgit.kde.org/flatpak-kde-applications.git/tree/org.kde.discover.json Feel free to extend it to include flatpak, I'll be happy to review it and merge it if it works. :)

This bug isn't going anywhere. Patches to Discover and Discover flatpak packaging welcome.
