Created attachment 774409 [details] GNOME Software can't find kdenlive Dear openSUSE team, [Overview] I was testing the GNOME Software application on openSUSE Leap 15 and I found that some things were not working as they should. Both kdenlive and tuxguitar didn't show when searching for that application. In both situations, YaST found these applications and installed them without any issues. [Steps to Reproduce] My blog provides a step by step description of the actions that I have performed / the testing that I have performed: https://www.fossadventures.com/the-sad-state-of-kde-discover-and-gnome-software-on-opensuse-leap-15/ [Actual Results] The applications couldn't be found. [Build Date & Hardware] Date of testing: 10 June 2018. Both Kdenlive and TuxGuitar are standard RPMs from the openSUSE Main Repository (OSS). The testing was performed using a Virtualbox VM. Hardware: Using 2 CPU cores of an Intel i5 4200U processor. 2 GB RAM dedicated to VM. Size of VM: 16 GB. [Additional information] The following repositories are enabled on the VM: # | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh ---+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------+---------+-----------+-------- 1 | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-1 | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-1 | No | ---- | ---- 2 | repo-debug | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Debug | No | ---- | ---- 3 | repo-debug-non-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Debug-Non-Oss | No | ---- | ---- 4 | repo-debug-update | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Update-Debug | No | ---- | ---- 5 | repo-debug-update-non-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Update-Debug-Non-Oss | No | ---- | ---- 6 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Non-Oss | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 7 | repo-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Oss | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 8 | repo-source | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Source | No | ---- | ---- 9 | repo-source-non-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Source-Non-Oss | No | ---- | ---- 10 | repo-update | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Update | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes 11 | repo-update-non-oss | openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Update-Non-Oss | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes If you want me to help you with future testing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Applications that provide invalid (e.g. kdenlive) metainfo files or do not provide them at all (tuxguitar) do not show up in GNOME Software or KDE Discover. This is not due to problems in either of these software centres, but rather bugs in the individual packages which are supposed to provide discoverable metainfo files (i.e. kdenlive and tuxguitar in this case). Please open issues against these apps, preferably in their upstream bug trackers.
