Description Thomas Bertels 2025-12-26 07:56:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since Discover 6.5.3 (versions since 6.3.6 not tested), with KDE updates set to automatic (either immediate or after reboot), instead of automatically installing Flatpak updates in the background, Discover just opens and shows updates.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a Flatpak
2. Enable automatic updates in KDE config (either immediate or after reboot, both tested)
3. Wait a few days for Flatpak updates to be posted to Flathub
4. Keep the system idle

OBSERVED RESULT
Discover opens and shows updates

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover installs updates in the background (displaying a notification icon).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The "installing unattended updates" notification icon sometimes shows up but no update gets installed.
