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. click to uninstall "libreoffice math" in the "office" menu 2. Click "Uninstall and manage extensions." 3. OBSERVED RESULT nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT Open "Discover" and uninstall it. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Spin KDE (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can reproduce. Discover can open normally for me, and I can also run `plasma-discover --application appstream://org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.desktop` in a terminal window, which works. Seems like Kicker/Kickoff are doing something wrong here.
Open the application launcher. Go to "office". Click "Uninstall and manage extensions" to uninstall libreoffice math.
Ah, it's Bug 472300. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 472300 ***
It can't be https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472300, this is Plasma 5 ;) I can reproduce. But it literally only happens for "LibreOffice Math". How weird.
It also happens in Plasma 6 RC1, also only for "LibreOffice Math". The desktop file seems well formed.
It happens to me too on KDE Neon 6 User Edition/Plasma 6.0.0

This bug happens to me too, the bug 432691 says that flatpak can be uninstalled file, but it don't work for me, any logs that i can share?, it don't output anything in journald Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.12-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 7,1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 82MF System Version: IdeaPad 3 15ALC6

This is working for me with current git master; seems like something fixed it recently.
*** Bug 493079 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It is not expected that every app will bring its metainfo package. Should kickoff hide the action "Uninstall or Mange Add-Ons..." when the app does not have a metainfo file? Rather than silently fail...
It's very weird if some apps don't let you manage then via Discover. Without this, now is a normal person supposed to uninstall it? If there are apps installed on the system that don't have AppStream metadata, TBH I would consider that to be the distro's error for either not packaging it, or for packaging the app without generating some.
Some apps ship multiple desktop files, take kmail for example: "KMail", "KMail Import Wizard", "KMail Header Theme Editor". Only "KMail" has a metainfo package; i think it makes sense to not provide one for the other desktop files. Indeed "Uninstall or Manage Add-Ons..." only works on "KMail".
The challenge of multiple apps provided by one package is separate but highly related. The Flatpak for LibreOffice or Calligra is probably a better example of the problem because all the apps are of the same level of importance (unlike, say, KMail Header Theme Editor) but you can't uninstall just one; removing one removes all. However the apps are shown separately in Kickoff etc! Figuring out how to present this better to the user is an unsolved problem.

That's not really the problem; the problem is that if you do so, it uninstalls more than you thought it would because you arrived there from a specific app in Kickoff. Regardless, this discussion should probably be in a new bug report about it.
