Description Guillaume Royer 2024-04-24 16:35:50 CEST
Description of problem:

After configuring the repositories in DNF and selecting the right repositories in Discover, I don't get any update warnings even if an update is available via mgaapplet.

My error code is: 

plasma-discover-update
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: Couldn't find the backend:  "kns-backend" among ("kns-backend", "packagekit-backend", "fwupd-backend", "flatpak-backend")
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0xe7b780)
QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "feedback"
kf.kio.core: couldn't create worker: "Unknown protocol 'file'."
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover: Failed to fetch ratings  "Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'file'."
packagekitqt.transaction: Unknown Transaction property: "Sender" QVariant(QString, ":1.120")
no component found for "org.mageia.mageia"
No updates available, exiting

I found that a bug had been opened on Cauldron and classified as invalid.

Bug 30925

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure DNF repositories
2.Install plasma-discover
3.Lunch commande plasma-discover-update

That previous bug was for Cauldron, which is different. But when I ran a Cauldron system, mgaapplet always picked up updated packages. I could not understand my own conclusions for Plasma Discover...

However, this bug is for Mageia 9.
"
Couldn't find the backend:  "kns-backend" among ("kns-backend", "packagekit-backend", "fwupd-backend", "flatpak-backend")
"
looks odd, because the error message contradicts itself.

Assigning to KDE maintainers.
