Hi folks, today I would like to solve this non critical issue which doesnt break the system but just bothers me a little:

When Discover (I think its discover?) informs me that I have new updates for my machine on the kde taskbar, I can right click and click „update“ but it doesnt do it.

Even if I have no sudo prompt at that time. Is this due to it being a sudo action or what is the issue? Any ideas?

Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

    It could be a firmware update. I noticed on my machine that there was always one update in the discover program that appeared as ready but never got installed.

    Turns out I had to manually run fwupdmgr update to install it.

      Thats not what I meant. Every day when I boot my computer, discover tells me if new updates are available through an icon in the dashboard, in the right corner. If I click it, discover opens up and tells me what needs updating.

      But you can also right click it and get the option to install all updates now. But it doesnt work if you click it. For all updates, not just system firmware updates.

    Maybe check journalctl for warning and/or error messages? Might be a bug that needs reporting/fixing.
