Discover doesn't show applications

Hello

The discover app no longer shows apps. The home page just says: “It’s not possible to load apps. Please check your internet connection”.

If I try to search anything or click on a category, only flatpak apps show up but no zypper apps at all.

I launched it via konsole and it here are the logs:

roguefort8@localhost:~> plasma-discover

I unistalled ‘packagekit’ and ‘appstream’ via YaST and after rebooted. The home page now showed apps, but only flatpaks. After reinstalling them, the home page was blank once again.

Use Yast or zypper

Does it also look like this in Gnome Software or similar?
Can you still install via YaST?

Also reported on the KDE side: Discover home screen showing error “Unable to load applications”

Anyone solve this issue? Using Zypper update, I get:

telliott@localhost:~> sudo zypper update
[sudo] password for root:
Refreshing service ‘NVIDIA’.
Refreshing service ‘openSUSE’.
Refreshing service ‘service’.
Problem retrieving the repository index file for service ‘service’:
File ‘./repo/repoindex.xml’ not found on medium ‘Index of /archive/rpm/x86_64/
Check if the URI is valid and accessible.
Refreshing service ‘service_1’.
Problem retrieving the repository index file for service ‘service_1’:

This is a completely different problem but also reported at bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218399

And btw on Tumbleweed you need to use zypper dup

Developers cannot reproduce it and nobody provided step by step instructions how to reproduce the problem.

If you read the bug, it is easy to reproduce.
Open YaST software → Repositories → Add repo via URL and see that it doesnt show up in repolist but under services…
The bugreporter even added a 4-step-pictured instruction how to reproduce…

I have the same issue, and I am surprised over a month later it’s still not fixed.
