Bug ID: 473957
Summary: iPhone can pair with laptop, but upon refreshing it
will never be able to connect again.
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Apple App Store
OS: iOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: ios-application
Assignee: lucas.w...@tuta.io
Reporter: alanwilson...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. LINUX: Kill kdeconnectd
2. LINUX: Delete all config files for kdeconnect
3. LINUX: Reopen kdeconnect
4. iOS: Open kdeconnect. See that the computer is available for pairing.
5. iOS: Press the pair button on the computer's icon.
6. LINUX: Accept the pair notification.
7. iOS: Attempt to use the kdeconnect functions. For me, remote input seems to
function, while send photos just shows an uncertain progress bar endlessly on
the computer screen, even for a single image.
8. iOS: Go back to the main screen and swipe the whole screen down to refresh
devices. See that the computer you just paired to is now categorized as
"remembered" (but not connectable). Further refreshing will show a flash of
green as the desktop device appears again, but it immediately vanishes.
OBSERVED RESULT
I can no longer connect to my laptop without deleting all the kdeconnect
configuration files, and even if I do so it still does not enable me to send
images.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would be able to repeatedly connect to the same device and use all available
functions.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.46 generic
KDEConnect Desktop Version: Unknown (am on GNOME, do not know how to find this)
iOS app version: 0.3.0 (9)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am on a dorm network. My laptop is connected via ethernet. I know that direct
connections over the wifi are allowed (because I have a Jellyfin server that
works pretty much fine), but I do not keep a static IP on my laptop, and I do
not have access to any router-level configuration.
I have openvpn installed and would be interested in using it if by doing so I
can circumvent this issue. That said, I have seen the help article on using it
and I realize that there is no iOS client mentioned, which may make this route
impossible. I am also willing to attempt to run a laptop-hosted wifi hotspot if
this will fix the issue.
