Bug ID: 390123
Summary: Discover 5.12 hangs a lot
Product: Discover
Version: 5.12.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: ***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---

I've experienced this hang on my production Kubuntu 17.10 machine a *lot*. Less
so on my Neon dev VM, but it happens there too. I see it most often when I
click on an app in the list. The delegate turns blue, and then Discover hangs
forever.

Here's a sample backtrace, in case it helps at all:

Thread 1 "plasma-discover" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

I can reproduce this on demand by clicking on Digikam from the Featured page
while Discover is still loading.

FWIW, this makes Discover almost unusable for me in 5.12 on Kubuntu. I can't
hardly go 30 seconds without a hang.

Fix freeze when showing the ApplicationPage

Change the strategy to show the screenshots. It sometimes would get the
ListView stuck. Use a Row + Repeater instead.
Also change the scrolling shadows approach because somehow it wouldn't work
with the Row {}

Backtrace - Discove froze after launch

Discover still freezes a lot on my system using KDE Frameworks 5.43.0, Qt 5.9.3
on Neon 5.12.1, 64-bit Kernel 4.4.0-112

The freezes seem to happen the most frequently on a new user account I set up
(for bug triaging).

In case it helps, I'm attaching a gdb backtrace of one freeze. What I did to
make that freeze happen: I simply launched Discover from Kicker and it froze
instantly. I had logged in just 5 min ago.

The freezes are rarely reproducible with the same action. Once it froze after
clicking Settings, and once it froze when I searched for an app.

Backtrace: Discover froze when searching for app

(Sorry, that previous backtrace was probably not complete. I'm new to this and
trying to learn).

Discover just crashed again. Attaching gdb backtrace (the full one now, I
hope).

What I did:
- Launched Discover
- Started typing for an app ('keepass')
- Hit Enter
- Window froze and Discover became unresponsive

Make sure you have the latest stable PackageKit Qt.

Make sure you have the latest stable PackageKit Qt.

Packagekit is 1.1.8-0neon1. I already have an updated system (Neon user
edition).
