Plasma discover doesn't open

Aurora
1

Plasma Discover doesn’t open. When I try launching it using the command line (plasma-discover). It outputs 'Illegal instruction (core dumped). How do I fix it?

You don’t. It has been replaced with Bazaar. You’ll need to remove the shortcut.

Discover has not been replaced in Aurora just yet.

The illegal instruction error could be a few things, but I suppose the first question would be did Discover work in the past for you and recently broke with an update? If so, can you rollback and provide the output of rpm-ostree status?

I can’t roll back. This is a fresh install.

You just Bazaar now instead of Discover. No need to roll back.

6

Once again. Aurora doesn’t have Bazaar (yet). Please stop recommending using it

Hello! Fresh install of Aurora 42.
Installed rpmfusion free and nonfree.
Installed akmod-wl for Broadcom wifi.

Can’t launch Discover from GUI or Terminal. Tried rollback, still can’t launch Discover.

Atleast remove the rpmfusion layered. You dont and should not layer those

10

Okay I’m completely new to Fedora. I can remove the rpmfusion free, but don’t I need the rpmfusion Nonfree to use akmod-wl for Broadcom wifi?

Nowadays Aurora does run Bazaar by default.

You have to run ujust toggle-software-store if you want to use Discover - see Stargazers #2 - Aurora August Update - #5 by Devoras
