Would be great to have KDE Discover integrated into Fedora LXQt Spin.
Is this even possible? Can it be installed in it?
Would be great to have it by default like in Lubuntu…
Added lxqt
Sure, just run sudo dnf install plasma-discover, though some dependencies are missing. I’ll try to do some more investigating, otherwise for now sudo dnf install plasma-workspace gets everything you need, at the cost of downloading essentially the whole of Plasma.
Maybe, but it will drag in a few hundred MB of KDE dependencies, making the iso a little bit bigger and all that.
Cosmic Store is small and fast, will probably be ready by F42. The package itself is only 32MB, though it appears dnf wants to install 75MB of icon themes…
In any case, I agree that dnfdragora just doesn’t cut it.

Oh no! I don’t want the whole plasma! That would just shot the reason why i installed LXQt in the first place!
It would be great if we could actually install “just” discover with the needed dependencies.
The same goes to having it as default. I don’t think it would be good to add the whole plasma desktop to the backpack, just because one wants to be able to use Discover on top of LXQt

Hum, i wasn’t aware of this. But isn’t it based on GTK?
Also: it probably does not yet deal with GUI upgrades like Discover and GNOME Store does…
Oh of course! Probably just a couple of packages missing, it already partially works. I just need to narrow it down.
No. Not Qt either though, it uses iced.

That would be great!!! I would really like to have it.
If it could be shipped by default with the LXQt spin and do upgrades like it can in Plasma it would be awesome for users!!!
I believe it would be better then - since LXQt is Qt based - to keep Qt apps as much as possible…
Everything seems to work with sudo dnf install plasma-discover kf6-kirigami-addons kf6-kitemmodels kf6-purpose.
Let me know if something is still missing.
Well, i had to add
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "1"
EndSection
to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
because Discover had no text!!!
However, i think you missed plasma-discover-notifier
and should have been:
sudo dnf install plasma-discover plasma-discover-notifier kf6-kirigami-addons kf6-kitemmodels kf6-purpose
What do you think?
Also: is there any extra step needed for setting discover to check for updates on startup or just installing does the job?
Yikes, no idea why that happened, doesnt seem to happen to me.
Ah yes, forgot about that.
It doesn’t work automatically for me. I tried to add /usr/libexec/DiscoverNotifier to LXQt Session Settings in the Autostart section with no luck yet.
… it’s a Graphic card driver problem… It’s an oooold computer
( i’ve had this problem before on lubuntu! See: Discover and Discover's Preferences (KDE Preferences) page have no text displayed - Lubuntu Support - Lubuntu Discourse . That’s why i tried it here as well… )
if you figure it out, please, let me know.
All in all - so far - this added only less than 50Mb to the system! it’s a very small price, considering the possible benefits!
I totally think this should come default on Fedora LXQt spin!!!
