I’ve been using open webui for some time but I wanted to test the Alpaka, a KDE app - https://apps.kde.org/alpaka/
When I click on an “Install on linux” button, Discover app is opening and gives me this error “Could not open appstream://org.kde.alpaka because it was not found in any available software repositories.” When using dnf there’s no such package as Aplaka. I can find and install other KDE apps. What am I missing?
I’m on Fedora 40, KDE spin.
It’s not packaged for Fedora, as simple as that.
Unfortunately there’s no Flatpak either. You can try asking in the Matrix channel: #alpaka:kde.org
It’s not being packaged by distros yet. You need to build from source.
On that note I wonder why Windows devs package software ASAP and Linux devs sometimes never do. Often the same who do the former also do the latter.
I recommend the flatpak version. It’s still a little buggy as an app, and it’s missing a few features, but it’ll be rad when it’s done.
Do you have packagekit installed? Perhaps :
Enabling RPM Fusion Free Repository :
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
Enabling RPM Fusion Nonfree Repository :
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
I have it already installed.
