Description phezzan0+kde 2024-12-13 21:14:06 UTC 
SUMMARY

Discover doesn't show a GUI, nor any errors, nor are errors written to terminal or system logs

If run in terminal:
[code]
(jkbin) jk@tv:/var/log$ pkill discover
(jkbin) jk@tv:/var/log$ plasma-discover 
fetch ratings! false
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x57878a6e58d0)
>> NOTHING HAPPENS until you <Ctrl+C> <<
[/code]

only starts if using the terminal workaround described:
- https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-discover-not-launching/12503/21


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Discover

OBSERVED RESULT
literally nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover GUI shows up or an error is printed to terminal / logs
discover should allow a 'verbose' or 'debug' option to allow troubleshooting without a debugger.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.8.0-50-generic (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems to wait forever ... but no idea what it's waiting for.
