Discover/update BUGGED

Or aptitude ...

[wonder]

I have a similar problem with Discover when indicate new updates...
If I restarted computer (power off and power on) the first update of discover work fine, click in update and I can type my password and update.
But, generally I suspend computer in ram (not power off) if other day I have new updates (second update from the last time that I power off and power on computer) I can't type password, appears news updates, click in update but not open box for input password. Only can reset (hard reset).
After this reset (hard reset) I click again in update, and then, open box for input password and update fine...suspend my computer, and other day, new updates, again, same problem, click in update all and not open box for input password.

Sorry if I not explained well.

@ wonder, You explain well enough. I suggest Kubuntu drop Discover until this gets sorted. Anyone 2nd?

I would not 2nd that idea. What I would strongly recommend is trying the great variety of tools available in Linux for updates and upgrades. The command line apt, apt-get, dpkg, and others, are actually used by the GUI applications in various combinations to determine what is available in the repos and ppas, and to select and install what you ask. What is obvious is that some of the GUI apps work better than others, the inverse of that is also true.

You are welcome to uninstall Discover, or anything else, but I really believe that is unnecessary. Use each where its strength lies. I let Discover announce. I use Muon and Synaptic to peruse, and sometimes install. I use apt, or apt-get, to update and upgrade. Other Kubuntu users take different approaches, and that is absolutely cool - because that is Linux.

The best thing to do is write a bug report, even if someone else already has. Volume contributes to priority.

Me? I'm happy as a clam with Kubuntu Bionic, and am looking forward to the next LTS.

I 2nd jglen490's recommendations!

Today, I batted 100%: the update took well using only Discover in both the desktop PC and the laptop! No commands, no Muon interventions.

Sorry for the delay in my reply, I was out some days.

No, I don't want uninstall Discover or some other.
At the moment, I try, if in the second update not prompt for password, kill process of Discover and update with konsole (pkcon update -y).
I go to view if exist a bug report open and if not, I open this.

Regards!
