Bug ID: 513569
Summary: After boot, Discover can never open again after being
closed
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Solus
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 187788
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=187788&action=edit
Showing 5 simultaneous Discover processes (none of which produce a useable
window or closeable instance on the taskbar).
SUMMARY
After booting up Solus, if I ever need to use Discover to manage my
applications, and I think I'll ever need to use it again for the remainder of
my PC's time running, I cannot close Discover again. If I do, I will not be
able to open it back up before rebooting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start up PC, sign in (my OS is Solus)
2. Open Discover. Use it or don't use it -- doesn't matter.
3. Close Discover.
4. Try to open Discover again: from the taskbar, from the start menu, whatever
manner. It will fail to open.
OBSERVED RESULT
Not only does Discover fail to reopen, but in the System Monitor, we can see
that it opens up a new Discover process every single time we try to open it,
and they remain forever, stacking up.
EXPECTED RESULT
If the application worked properly, after closing Discover, it would be easy,
trivial to reopen it with a click on any of the places to find it (taskbar,
start menu...). Furthermore, it would not keep spinning up new processes that
get permanently stuck.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Solus Linux: 4.8 Opportunity
Budgie UI: 10.9.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Kernel: Linux 6.17.8-324.current
An existing bug report, 375804, has been made for this issue. However, it was
automatically closed because of the unresponsive bug report author. I will do
what I can to help this issue get fixed, though I am not very knowledgeable.
The last message to the author in that thread was about running Discover
through GDB. I do not know how to do that, so please let me know (if that is
even the right thing to do here). The existing bug report was filed for
Discover version 5.8.5, making this a fairly old issue.
In the attached image, you can see the 5 simultaneous Discover processes (none
of which produce a useable window or closeable instance on the taskbar).
