2018-09-22 11:23:55 Rik Mills description Cosmic and Bionic Desktop file sets: NoDisplay=true resulting in no software sources menu entry in KDE menu. This was probably just about ok when Plasma Discover was able to launch this via a menu item in it's options, but at least for Plasma 5.13 this is currently broken, and Disover's built-in source selection has further issues. Plus many users decide not to use Discover at all, and even uninstall it altogether. Not withstanding all that, it is just desirable that someone can just type "software" or "sources" in to the search box in Plasma's main menu and find the menu item/launcher for this and use software-properties without having to go a more complicated path. Solution is simply removing the "NoDisplay=true" line from the .desktop file Cosmic and Bionic Desktop file sets: NoDisplay=true resulting in no software sources menu entry in KDE menu.
