Ports PR, although I'm not sure where the Discover binary comes from. More help triaging requested. Moin moin Yes, unfortunately no-one got around to writing a FreeBSD-backend for discover yet :) Patches are welcome (here, and upstream). mfg Tobias (In reply to Mark Linimon from comment #1) % pkg provides /usr/local/bin/plasma-discover Name : plasma5-discover-5.24.6 Comment : Plasma5 package management tools Repo : FreeBSD Filename: usr/local/bin/plasma-discover-update usr/local/bin/plasma-discover % pkg search -o plasma5-discover-5.24.6 sysutils/plasma5-discover Plasma5 package management tools % *** Bug 267565 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 13.1-RELEASE Discover used to work I think. The only major problem I had was that Firefox-esr stopped working. Required major reinstall of broken/missing parts. Now getting same error as OP. Unclear what backends are available or required. Info on Archlinux forums suggests flatpak or packagekit-qt5. Freshports mentions flatpak is in Discover. Can't find where packagekit-qt5 comes from. Discover Addons works fine. Can live without Discover Applications for now. I'm working on this. *** Bug 273668 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 274242 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/ports/commit/?id=c3ef2c90a83e9f392ca9d8724619920d56a076c9 commit c3ef2c90a83e9f392ca9d8724619920d56a076c9 Author: Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-04-02 15:20:37 +0000 Commit: Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-04-03 06:14:08 +0000 ports-mgmt/packagekit: Update to 1.2.8 Sponsored by: Serenity Cybersecurity, LLC PR: 265352 ports-mgmt/packagekit/Makefile | 12 ++++++------ ports-mgmt/packagekit/distinfo | 6 +++--- ports-mgmt/packagekit/pkg-plist | 4 +++- 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/ports/commit/?id=542e878a66ed0f6dd84cbba87b068e7b5a4fdcd2 commit 542e878a66ed0f6dd84cbba87b068e7b5a4fdcd2 Author: Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-04-03 06:12:53 +0000 Commit: Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-04-03 06:14:08 +0000 sysutils/plasma5-discover: Enable PackageKit backend PR: 265352 Sponsored by: Serenity Cybersecurity, LLC sysutils/plasma5-discover/Makefile | 6 +++--- sysutils/plasma5-discover/pkg-plist | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) PackageKit now has a native FreeBSD pkg backend and Discover is enabled to use that backend. The backend might still have bugs, though, so get back to me if you bump into any problems. |
Created attachment 235400 [details] Screenshot of the error window of Discover When I launch "Discover" app either in xfce or kde, it generates the following error: "Discover currently cannot be used to install any apps because none of its app backends are available. Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution."
