Discover (Plasma) is not opening

Guyk5685

Hello,
Since yesterday, Discover is not launching anymore. i'm on Solus Budgie.
When I launch in the terminal

plasma-discover

I have:

Warning: Setting a new default format with a different version or profile after the global shared context is created may cause issues with context sharing.

Is anyone have any ideas how to fix this ?
Thank you

Guyk5685 Solseek is a good workaround at the moment until the team fix things. You might decide that you prefer it to Discover.
From the terminal run sudo eopkg it solseek
It's icon should appear in Start> System but it can be started from terminal by typing solseek and then enter.
More information about Solseek is available here.

jupp same problem for me Discover is not launching! I managed to get it to open using these commands;
First type this in terminal; pkill discover
Then type this; plasma-discover --backends packagekit-backend
But I get this warning:
Warning: Setting a new default format with a different version or profile after the global shared context is created may cause issues with context sharing.

Same here...

pomon

Try clearing the Discover cache: rm -rf ~/.cache/discover, then run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb plasma-discover.
Or install: sudo eopkg it qt6ct, next:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct
plasma-discover

Discover doesn't launch
Trying to open Discover sometimes doesn't work, no window appears. This is an upstream issue with a bug report on the KDE bug tracker which will need to be fixed by the KDE folks.

There is a workaround in that post.

Unfortunately, this error looks like something different. I recommend creating a bug report in our tracker so we can investigate that error on Budgie. We can then see if it's actually the same bug or a packaging bug. Thanks.

No reason to use Discover then..
Use Solseek instead it works much better and is faster!!
