Description kelson 2023-07-26 16:33:43 UTC
On a system without a full KDE environment, if I install just Plasma Discover (whether through dnf or through Gnome Software), I get a partially-working Discover app. It loads, and it shows categories and lists of apps, but it can't load the info page for an application. I was able to get it to work by also installing the kf5-purpose package through dnf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a Fedora 38 system without KDE (I found this on Gnome)
2. Install the plasma-discover RPM (dnf or GNOME Software)
3. Run Discover
4. Click on an application entry for more information.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens in the GUI.

If you run it from the command-line, the console outputs

file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/PageRow.qml:914: Error: Error while loading page: qrc:/qml/ApplicationPage.qml:15 module “org.kde.purpose” is not installed

Expected Results:  
Discover should switch to a page showing additional detail, description, reviews, etc. for the application.

Installing kf5-purpose via dnf solves the problem. So making it a dependency for the plasma-discover RPM should fix it.

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.

Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

This is still present on Fedora 40, only now the error is about QT6:

file:///usr/lib64/qt6/qml/org/kde/kirigami/PageRow.qml:1078: Error: Error while loading page: qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/discover/qml/ApplicationPage.qml:17 module "org.kde.purpose" is not installed

and installing kf6-purpose isn't sufficient to solve the problem:

qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/discover/qml/ReviewsPage.qml:15 module "org.kde.kitemmodels" is not installed

Installing both kf6-purpose and kf6-kitemmodels via dnf makes it possible for plasma-discover to show information about individual applications.

The application clearly depends on these packages, but the RPM doesn't, and should.

This is still present in Fedora 40, as I described in my previous comment.

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2025-04-25 10:06:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
