Description Ahmed 2021-10-28 19:03:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
Discover takes about 5 minutes to fetch updates, so I opened Discover from the terminal to see what causes that, and here is the output of the terminal:

```
kf.kirigami: Units.devicePixelRatio is deprecated (since 5.86 ): This returns 1 when using Qt HiDPI scaling.
org.kde.plasma.discover: Trying to open unexisting file QUrl("file:///home/username/%25F")

This issue started to happen after updating Kubuntu from 21.04 to 21.10

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I updated Kubuntu recently from version 21.04 to 21.10, and used Kubuntu Backports PPA to update KDE Plasma to the latest version.

Does it reproduce if you run `plasma-discover --backends flatpak-backend` to load just the flatpak backend?

Yes, it took the same amount of time.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-10-29 15:29:20 UTC 
Thanks. Does `flatpak update` in a terminal window also take forever?

No, it took a few seconds.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-10-29 16:30:19 UTC 
OK, then it does seem like Discover is somehow at fault here. Thanks.

That's right. I removed `plasma-discover-backend-flatpak`, and Discover fetches updates instantly.
