I’ve just installed Aurora but I can’t run apps installed via KDE Discover. They seem to download, and but can’t be launched.
They’re marked as installed and persist through restarts, but when I click the launch button and nothing happens. No error is provided. Downloaded applications don’t appear in the start menu.
Same thing happens on with Discord, Slack, Spotify, and Vivaldi.
A bit disappointing considering how easy everything else has been until this point. Anybody have suggestions on how I could fix / troubleshoot this or at least get an error message?
Open Warehouse and find the command for each of the Flatpaks that don’t launch so you can launch them in the terminal.
Off hand, here’s the command to launch Discord which will give you a log output in the terminal that may detect what’s wrong and help you figure out what’s going on:
Both my Discord and Spotify flatpaks launch fine via terminal - I don’t see any logs that might indicate what’s going on.
That implies to me that there’s some problem arising with the integration of Discover and Aurora (as opposed to with the download and installation of apps).
Given that the whole point of Universal Blue is that my OS is a managed image running in a container, I’m not sure how that happens, though. I haven’t used rpm-ostree to layer anything additional in.
I’m gonna read up some more on how this works, but if you have any further suggestions I’d love to hear them.
Do they launch from the KDE main menu / application menu?
Not sure what the issue with Discover on your machine is as they do launch fine here, either from the Discover app or terminal or the application menu.
If I search for them I get the prompt to “get” them from Discover. If I follow those prompts I get carried through to each app’s respective Discover page, which then claim it’s already installed.
What’s the command for system restore including apps in Aurora? Is there a ujust or rpm-ostree command for that?
that helped.
your efforts won’t be in vain
