1. Close Discover (GUI) 2. Add the user flathub remote flatpak remote-add --user flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak remote-delete --system flathub 3. Open Discover and its "repos" section It does not detect that repo i.e. it didnt fully close on GUI close. 4. Press the "add flathub" button. This will try to add it systemwide which requires an additional group for nonwheel users. Cancel the addition. Now Discover reloads and shows the user flathub repo. But it has no icon. This is a minor issue. Best would be to allow adding the flathub repo systemwide or only for this user on choice. Adding only for this user doesnt need any password prompt too.

> It does not detect that repo i.e. it didnt fully close on GUI close. What leads yo to the conclusion that Discover didn't fully close? Did you verify this with `ps -e | grep -i discover`? Or was that a guess?
I got the idea that it doesnt really close due to the updater indicator often present even after closing it. And the fact that it didnt reload the available repos too
Ok, can you verify your theory by doing what I suggested?
2332 ? 00:00:01 DiscoverNotifie This process is still running after closing discover. reproducing: >> flatpak remote-delete --force --user flathub >> pkg-config refresh # discover not opened manually until now >> plasma-discover (through GUI, had no internet connection for some reason, didnt show flathub) >> flatpak remote-add --user flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo >> plasma-discover org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: OdrsReviewsBackend: Fetch ratings: false Couldn't get latest commit for [all my flatpak apps listed here] So I assume plasma-discover was not running as I invoked it via Terminal. Closed the process through terminal. Now launched Discover again, flathub (user) is showing up. This is strange, as it should have shown up before. But this is pretty minor, may be possible to close.
and that spello in the first line is not me. I think that is this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479037 seems to be a rendering issue in konsole?
That's DiscoverNotifier, not Discover. Different processes. So it looks like Discover is not still running in the background.
