SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Kickoff - right click an app -> uninstall 2. Discover opens the app page. OBSERVED RESULT 3a. Package manager source is preselected. App appears as not installed. Switching source to flatpak makes the app un-installable. EXPECTED RESULT 3b. The source from which the app is installed is automatically selected (flatpak in my case). App should then be shown as installed and uninstall button should be visible. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Opensuse tumbleweed 20221107 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION App I used to test this: Digikam
This is working for me. Can you do the following: 1. find the app's appstream:// URL by searching for it using `appstreamcli search` 2. Once you have the app's AppStream URL, open it in Discover in a terminal window, like so: `plasma-discover appstreamcli://[the id]` And see if it opens from the correct source to allow you to uninstall it immediately.
I tried the steps and it works as expected. Also can't reproduce the original issue anymore. I guess it was a random glitch?
Sounds like it.
Created a patch because the problem is theoretically possible and easy to fix in a generic way: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/413
Git commit 706ebd9a87bbf9cdef090df97e28d38ea501bb54 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Aleix Pol. Committed on 28/11/2022 at 15:43. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Prefer openining the installed version of an app When opening discover with a specific app as a command line argument and this application has several versions, prefer showing the one that is installed. Since the app state might be delayed, we need to monitor the state of the packages that don't know it for a bit. Delaying the initial state is something we do commonly on the PackageKit backend.
