I think Nate's comment explains the problem -- I was using the version of Discover packaged with the 64-bit Kubuntu 17.04 download (from https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ ). On an older Windows laptop, I used the Universal Installer recommended here -- https://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-kubuntu-10-04-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/ to put a Live CD-equivalent copy of Kubuntu on a USB drive. It seemed to work fine. After a reboot, Kubuntu was running on the laptop with no apparent errors. I immediately tried to use Discover to look at what software packages are available, and ran into trouble -- slowed me down a bit on my attempt to move to Linux on that laptop. Sounds like the crash is more or less a known issue, so it's probably fine to close this bug. If I see it again on a newer version of Discover I'll email again.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385482 --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- I also use Kubuntu 17.04 as my primary OS. Unfortunately the version of Discover packaged with Kubnutu 17.04 is super rough and buggy. Frankly it's not worth using at all, and most of the bugs you're likely to encounter have already been fixed in newer versions that aren't available directly in Kubuntu 17.04 yet. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, you can update to newer versions of KDE software (which includes Discover) by adding the backports PPA to your system: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports Executing the following commands should do it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports sudo apt update Then you can do the following to update to a newer version of Discover sudo apt install plasma-discover -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I can produce a backtrace eventually, but it will be a while before I get back to the laptop where the problem occurred. I'll check tonight on my own laptop and see if the same crash happens there. This is a first foray back into Linux for me after a gap of a few years, so please don't expect any kind of expertise. The version of Discover is whatever is packaged with the 64-bit Kubuntu 17.04 download (from https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ ) -- I'll look and send an update tonight. I used the Universal Installer recommended here -- https://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-kubuntu-10-04-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/ to put a Live CD-equivalent copy of Kubuntu on a USB drive. It seemed to work fine. After a reboot, Kubuntu was running on the laptop with no apparent errors. I immediately tried to use Discover to look at what software packages are available. I didn't have a mouse-with-wheel plugged in, so I tried the down arrow key as an alternative to scrolling with the track pad. This worked fine in some categories. But in the Games and Graphics categories, Discover immediately crashed. I've done absolutely nothing else with Kubuntu yet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
