Bug ID: 495553
Summary: Filelight installer unconditionally uses PackageKit,
which doesn't work when the distro has no PackageKit
support
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: bars: status
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a distro with no PackageKit support, for example: KDE Linux, SteamOS,
Fedora Kinoite, or OpenSuse Kalpa
2. Don't have Filelight installed
3. Open Dolphin
4. Click on the button on the status bar that shows Filelight-related free
space investigation options when it's installed, and an option to install it
when it's not installed
5. See that it has an "Install Filelight…" button and click it
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin shows "Installing Filelight…" and an indeterminate progess bar, but it
never succeeds at installing Filelight.
EXPECTED RESULT
when PackageKit isn't available, either don't show this functionality, or else
try alternative installation methods, such as Flatpak or Snap.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When Filelight is installed manually from Flathub, the menu entries I would
expect to see in Dolphin appear as expected
