Kde - discover problems and backend

[ehanpaul8]

I'm running Mageia 6 KDE fully updated: Plasma 5.12.2, frameworks 5.42.0, Qt 5.9.4 and a 64 bit system with the 4.14.70-desktop-2.mga6 Kernel.

Is it normal for Discover to crash all the time? I can open it, but as soon as I run any operation, it crashes. BTW, what's the backend of Discover on Mageia? URPM or DNF?

I don't use Plasma discover. Backend is PackageKit, pkcon in a terminal. Repos and metadata are those of dnf. Plasma-pk-updates work fine here.

Edit: I did not pay attention. Mageia 6 is EOL and out of support!

Yes and no. No it's not normal in general, but yes it does happen pretty regularly from what I remember in some configurations.
See e.g. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23668

For the question about the backend, it's dnf / packagekit. Check if you have configured repos for dnf, and check if pkcon can list / install updates
