Hello, I haven't change format between 2.9.0 and 2.10.0. Maybe this is due to change the code from your side. For fix that i think you can simply un install and re install the widget.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

this happened with the 1st update that was released in the string of updates recently, been installing from source by extracting the folder to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork/as a result

2.7 -> 2.8 i think

[orblazer]

Hum that is weird, maybe try simply install it from discover :shrug:. I never see an similar issue.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

un-installed and installed it without a error

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

and now it says i am on 2.9 trying to upgrade to 2.10 with the same issue

where does it store the installed version data?

[orblazer]

where does it store the installed version data?

You can find it in big file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

and now it says i am on 2.9 trying to upgrade to 2.10 with the same issue

That is weird, i need to continue to dig for try to reproduce this issue.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

only note worthy line i can find is this

plugin=org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork

any idea where the updater stores plug version data?

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

if you can tell me what files you need to replicate this issue let me know

[orblazer]

if you can tell me what files you need to replicate this issue let me know

The issue is i can't reproduce your issue with discover, i haven't any error, and i can't really found an similar issue with that.

any idea where the updater stores plug version data?

The widgets is stored in ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/.

---

The only things i can suggest is doing update manually by following this steps :

1. removing current installed widget with rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork
2. Downloading new release : resourcesMonitor-fork-2.10.0.plasmoid
3. Extracting it with unzip -d org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork ~/Downloads/resourcesMonitor-fork-2.10.0.plasmoid OR extracting the file at ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

That is the method i have been using to update it... discover does not see the current version number and IDK why

• that is probably how i broke the updater (installing pre release updates)

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

i see a new version now exists...

[orblazer]

Hum that really sad, and honestly i'm short at things i could try/search to found why this occurred at you and look like no one else.

Sorry for your troubles.

[orblazer]

Hello, After i return on the project i have found the issue. Discover check KPackageStructure property in metadata.json and in fact yes i have change it in 50bebb9c40a1e5d58f2ef43565c0a2c3f17ff099 (so in v2.10.1). So that is logic.

For orignal issue, i think its issue related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448625 (seem caused when KPackageStructure was not found) and that is fixed by KDE.

After that constat i can mark this solved and re open it if its not. Thanks.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

so what do i need to change to make the kde updater happy?

it fails to update 2.9.0 to 2.10.2 (2.10.2 has been manually installed)

Normally since manually update v2.10.1 you should have no longer issues with automatic update.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

Discover does not acknowledge that it has been updated... and fails when trying to update

When i say manually i mean extracting source files to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.resourcesMonitor-fork/

as stated before i have also tried uninstalling and installing it

[orblazer]

Hum maybe you can try do uninstall et re install it from Discover :shrug: I never use that software for my knowledge is limited.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

| I never use that software

???

the only one i used was discover...

[orblazer]

Hum on my manjaro setup i use org.manjaro.pamac.manager.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

here is the launcher for the updater on kubuntu

$ cat /usr/share/applications/org.kde.discover.desktop |egrep "^\[|Exec"
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=plasma-discover %F
[Desktop Action Updates]
Exec=plasma-discover --mode update

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

After updating to 24.04 the updates installs, now on 2.11.4 (kubunut 24.04 uses plasma 5) but it is not telling me to update to a version that can not be installed

[orblazer]

This project have no longer update for Plasma 5.
