Hi, on fresh install (multiple) of Fedora 42 GNOME the KDE Connect app after install wont open.
Either it will stay running in processes but nothing will display or it will immediately crash with an error.
GSconnect doesn’t even show up after install.
If I install Fedora 42 KDE it works fine. But I don’t like KDE. Any idea what’s up with this?
EDIT: Thanks for help, anyhow. In the end I found that I will just use KDE Connect for clipboard between my laptop, PC and phone but the desired functionality I wanted when connected to my phone is available with scrcpy and it’s quite something. Can’t believe it has such a stupid name as I never heard of it. It’s so freaking good!
The bacground app is Amberol btw
Hmm, that doesn’t show a lot of details but it seems correct. Gnome should have an Extension manager. It should show up if you type some first letters of the word “Extensions” into the app overview. Maybe look if shows up there and got activated.
But thanks, I found GS conncect in the Extension manager… Why the hell is it even there? Anyhow, it works. But the fact I cant uninstall KDE Connect now drives me crazy… Time for fresh system install I guess… Again
Just in case you haven’t started reinstalling yet, and has a transaction history. I can’t look a link up right now, but the command goes something like “dnf history undo <number>”, where the number is the transaction id of the transaction that installed KDE connect. You can find the transaction id in “dnf history”
I’ve already reinstalled and set up everything :)
I did check the history btw, it was not there at all. And there were only 16 lines as well so it’s not like I’ve overlooked it.
Okay, that’s weird. It shouldn’t try to remove sudo. That’s just silly. But I haven’t used Fedora, I have no idea what’s going on here.
I cant even uninstall KDE-connect now. Even via terminal it doesn’t work.
