Description Eduardo Sánchez Muñoz 2023-10-21 20:37:07 UTC 
SUMMARY

There is a notification about available updates, but Discover is stuck at "Fetching updates"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in
2. Wait for the updates notification
3. Open Discover (from launcher or from notification)

OBSERVED RESULT

Discover is stuck at "Fetching updates"

EXPECTED RESULT

Discover should show the updates that caused the notification to pop up.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 38
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fetching updates with dnf works fine.

Opening discover from command line shows:

adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x560dd7916170)
QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot have negative intervals

Does it ever succeed? If it did, how long did it take? If not, how long did you let it wait for before giving up and reporting this bug?
Comment 2 Eduardo Sánchez Muñoz 2023-10-25 16:51:02 UTC 
First, I waited around 20 minutes before giving up. After a reboot, I tried again and gave up after 5 minutes and updated with dnf, which took much less times.
Comment 3 Alessandro Astone 2023-10-25 16:58:03 UTC 
I think I've see packagekit-dnf getting stuck once before...
In any case these should help https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-e2962fcb2a - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-f356f702f4 simply because they reduce the stuff that needs to be downloaded for a refresh
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-10-26 21:15:19 UTC 
That would make sense. Let's re-evaluate in Plasma 6 which includes your other changes too. FWIW I don't get super long load times anymore in Plasma 6.
