Do a: systemctl status packagekit and you will get lines like this: PackageKit[2067]: refresh-cache transaction /193_cdedbaab from uid 1000 finished with failed after 148ms Then do a: systemctl restart packagekit and then: PackageKit[6339]: get-updates transaction /201_daaaadaa from uid 1000 finished with success after 222ms which means it works, i was able to install normal packages from discover and apper. systemctl status packagekit -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1945030 Title: plasma-discover "cannot refresh cache whilst offline" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plasma-discover/+bug/1945030/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
