discovers notification icon appear. But I cannot open it. This happens everytime, so it is easy to reproduce. I have tried apt reinstall the discover apps, I have tried removing discover cache and config.

I haven't seen this on either of my Solus systems either, with 6.6.5 and built from git-master Can you try something? First, kill any Discover process with killall plasma-discover Then, try launching it with plasma-discover --backends flatpak,fwups If it fails to launch, kill the processes again and try this: plasma-discover --backends fwupd,flatpak Please let us know your results.

Well, actually both options giving backends, works. Trying again without giving backends does not. Looks like we're into something here :-)
Thanks for checking that. It lets us know the flatpak and firmware backends are ok. Now run this and let us know if Discover launches or not: plasma-discover --backends fwupd,flatpak,kns-backend
That worked too. Only one of the 3 backends you listed were with -backend, what that on purpose? I actually tried with all 5 backends, both with and without -backend, and all of them worked.
Thanks for the troubleshooting. The developers will need to take a closer look.
Please get discover stuck. Then run killall -ABRT plasma-discover This should bring up the crash dialog and you can report the stuck process from there. Possibly via the developer information page.
