#648 Endless loop in plasma-discover (kinoite)
Closed: Invalid by roth. Opened by roth.

Reopen Issue

I just updated to Kinoite Rawhide (Rawhide.20250716.n.0) and the autostart item for Discover (/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop) gets stuck in endless loop. It keeps throwing up a Discover app window to the default desktop with an error dialog, then immediately closes it.

Here some logs of the failing process from a recent boot

The workaround is to kill DiscoverNotifier and plasma-discover. I assume Cli update mechanisms are unaffected.

I don't see any error in those logs. Please record a video? or collect more logs, launching the notifier from the command line with --replace?
