Bug ID: 476396
Summary: Discover: "The PackageKit daemon has crashed"
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@apache.org
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After a recent Neon 5.27 package update (maybe a month or so ago) Discover
started to throw up a dialog telling me "The PackageKit daemon has crashed"
(cf. attached screenshot).
This was reported to Discover a few times already but always closed as "please
tell your Distro". Well, Neon is my distro, here you go. I actually doubt that
this is a distro related issue since
(a) it was reported for various distros (including Neon)
(b) it started happening only after some KDE Neon package update (there might
have been a PackageKit update involved though)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
This is the way it happens to me:
1. Be notified about updates
2. Open Discover
3. Deselect the Neon packages, keep only the Flatpak updates
4. Press Apply or whatever that button is labeled with
5. A dialog will pop up telling you PackageKit has crashed
6. The Flatpak updates will actually suceed. At least it looks like that.
OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog "The PackageKit daemon has crashed" pops up
EXPECTED RESULT
No such dialog
