I was away from my system for a while, but came back to update my laptop to the 42 release for Kinoite.
During the first round update I got a ton of 404 errors for things that are apparently no longer hosted on the Fedora flatpak repo “registry.fedoraproject.org” that are components of KDE it would seem.
I can’t seem to find any mentions of these being removed or unsupported, they just appear to be gone, and browsing directly to the repo and searching for them seems to support this.
What is the recommended action?
Are these no longer considered standard components of Kinoite?
I can do without most of the apps below, but KCalc and Gwenview are pretty standard and I’m somewhat surprised they were just dropped from the repo.
I personally will probably being moving the ones I need to their Flathub counterparts and dropping the games, but I figure the next person googling this issue may appreciate knowing why Discover is giving a 404 on Kinoite for these updates and how to fix them.
For those who DO stumble across this with the same issue, you’ll need to add FlatHub (or what ever repo you want to use) as a repository, then use the following command to replace the Fedora project versions of these apps with flathub:
Wild. I wasn’t able to get it to run at all with flatpak trying to pull for the update, and going directly to the repo redirects you to the Quay page, which I don’t believe has a very reliable search for these Flatpaks.
However, now after I have switched to the Flathub version of KCalc:
panda@fedora:/var/home/panda$ flatpak remotes
Name Options
fedora system,oci
flathub system
panda@fedora:/var/home/panda$ flatpak search kcalc
Name Description Application ID Version Branch Remotes
KCalc Scientific calculator org.kde.kcalc 25.04.1 stable fedora,flathub
This brings more strange behavior. Though i couldn’t tell you what version of that Kcalc is but I can only assume 25.04.1
As when I finally booted up this system again I had over 50 updates in the Discover section, most of which gave similar responses.
A flatpak update later, I was left with those 5 not updating. Literally just ran the CLI command vs the Discover update, and that’s where my woes started with the Fedora repo.
I believe I may lack the knowledge to explain how or why that is, and having now switched to Flathub versions of Kcalc and Gwenview I don’t think I can reproduce the issue.
