Bug ID: 492700
Summary: KDE Connect Doesn't Work Unless Wifi Is Enabled
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 23.08.5
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: messaging-application
Assignee: si...@ergotech.com
Reporter: k...@lew1s.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDE Connect does not see my phone unless I have wifi enabled. Even if I'm
connected to the same wired network and I can ping my phone, and my phone can
ping my laptop, it won't recognize it. I don't think it's a network issue
because I use a dumb wireless AP, and there's no routing or anything happening.
There's no firewalls enabled or anything like that.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable Wifi and hardwire your computer to the same LAN as your phone
2. Open KDE Connect, and it will not find your device.
3.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 22
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13 (built against 5.15.13)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm running the KDE connect app on a Pixel 7, running the CalyxOS custom ROM.
Other than the issue with it connecting to my Linux machine when it's on
Ethernet, the app works just fine.
