Discover not loading properly and seems to hang

[Chester]

I did a fresh install of KDE Neon when 6.0 came out and everything seemed to work pretty well other than the major know issues. But even now, after a good amount of the major issues have been fixed, my discover seems to still be out of commission.

When clicking on discover or launching it via the "plasma-discover" command, they both seem to hang and do nothing. I can see the Discover processes in System Monitor with no CPU usage, but everytime I open Discover it creates a new one meaning I need to force close the application. I do get some output in the terminal, as shown below, but can't make heads or tails of it. Any help would be appreciated.

plasma-discover output:
libs QList("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins", "/usr/bin")
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: OdrsReviewsBackend: Fetch ratings: true
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x55ff96ce0b80)

P.S. It then seems to just hang and never exits meaning I need to force close it with Ctrl-C

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I have the same problem.
No errors at all, it seems to be running, but no window.

Welcome.

Discover works for me in Plasma 6 (KDE neon - both fresh installation and upgraded from Plasma 5, Arch and openSUSE Tumbleweed -> all in X11 )…

• Did you update to Plasma 6.0.2 and KDE Gear 24.02.1 ?
• Did you try if this also occurs in a new user account?

I've been using command line pkcon to update since discover stopped working.
So I think I have plasma 6.0.2 and KDE Gear 24.02.1. But how would I double check?

And I just created a new user account, and the same thing with Discover occurs.

You could enter kinfo in Konsole.
And in Konsole's -> "Hamburger menu" -> Help -> About Konsole you can see the KDE Gear version.

You could additionally test if it makes a difference whether you use a Wayland or X11 session (you can choose this in the lower left corner at the log in screen).

Hi,

kinfo reports the following:
Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-26-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz
Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Konsole reports version 24.02.1

Same problem using Wayland.
Although if I run plasma-discover from console, I get the following message: (which I did not get using X11)
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

But I noticed in Wayland, kinfo doesn't report NVIDIA gpu, so perhaps unrelated to the discover problem.

Update: The 6.0.3 update fixed my Discover problem!
