Bug ID: 416381
Summary: Feature request in Dicover: Filter packages that were
installed from .deb binaries.
Product: Discover
Version: 5.17.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: math...@valat.eu
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
A lot of users are relying on packages provided by third party providers that
are not using the traditional repository scheme (this usually restrics user to
ubuntu-based distro). For instance, in you want to use Synology Note Station or
Rambox, you have to install the software binary via Discover, but you will not
receive updates, and while most of these softwares have self-check features to
tell you when it is outdated, some don't. And you have no means to filter
software that were installed via precomplied binaries in Discover.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download a .deb of your favorite software and install it via Discover (as a
default method on KDE-neon).
2. Open Discover and filter the softwares installed
3. You cannot find the software you have installed via this method
OBSERVED RESULT
It is impossible to list the packages installed manually.
EXPECTED RESULT
A list of manually installed binaries.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE-neon 5.17
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2
