J'essaie d'installer #gsconnect sur #ubuntu et peu importe que je passe par le centre d'applications ou par la liste des applis, l'installation se fait mais je ne peux pas du tout y accéder.

Une idée ?

Found a local file and clipboard transfer alternative to #KDEconnect called #localsend. its missing media control and remote mouse input but it doesn't appear to have the dependency bloat of kdeconnect or #gsconnect. I care about this because #XFCE is my preferred desktop environment its lightweight, fast, and the design language is more intuitive to me.

LocalSend: Share files to nearby devices

LocalSend is a free, open-source, cross-platform file sharing tool that allows you to share files to nearby devices.

KDE connect on iOS with GSConnect on gnome are a godsend!
I do a lot of capturing on my good old iphone 12. Be it audio, video, images or pointclouds. The exchange to Linux is smooth <3

Another deeply frustrating experience with software.

My USB C cable is in the car, so rather than using it to connect my phone to my laptop and download my photos, I thought I'd give GSConnect a shot.

Three videos, two reboots, and two hours later, I seem no closer to getting it working than when I started.

So, so frustrating.

I'm totally awestruck about the level of continuity one can find using 2 simple tools - Scrcpy and KDE Connect.

Scrcpy seems to fit the idea of an "all-in-one" solution better, with shared clipboard access, screen and camera mirroring. KDE Connect appears more apt for multimedia and notification mirroring.

Does one really need to purchase expensive products from Apple and get locked up in that walled garden? FOSS solutions exist, and often provide almost every single feature a locked-down propreitary implementation would.

What I've come to wholeheartedly appreciate:
- bidirectionally shared clipboards
- bidirectional dev (mic, camera, files)
- notification and MPRIS support
- near-native performance
- (EDIT) browsing and replying to SMS messages

What I'd like to see (wishful thinking):
- ability to answer calls from computers over either utility

Combined with cloud-based services, continuity should almost equal the Apple ecosystem's performance.

Months of wondering why #KDEConnect only half worked on my gnome desktop has been ended by the fact that I had #GSConnect installed alongside it, so they conflict and always crashed when I tried to open the settings. Now I spent a whole 6 minutes to uninstall KDE Connect and set up GS Connect, which now works perfectly!

Voy a quitar #KDEConnect. Me falla más que una escopeta de feria. No sé si la culpa la tiene la aplicación de #Android o #GSConnect. Ya tanto da...
Llevo un tiempo ya usando #KDEConnect y la experiencia está siendo negativa. Creo que la aplicación #Android es el eslabón débil. Me falla un huevo. O #GSConnect, no sé, la verdad. Me dice que están los dispositivos conectados. Sin embargo resulta que no están conectados. Una puta mierda. Estoy por quitarlo definitivamente.

Installed #KDEConnect on my @e_mydata #Android phone with #GSConnect on my #Linux #GNOME desktop yesterday.

I have all my devices connected to my own VPN server the whole time, so it had to be set up manually (no automatic discovery). So I was very pleasantly surprised everything just connected by itself this morning. Notifications from the mobile appeared on my desktop like it should.

This is awesome! The KDE/GSConnect user experience has really improved since last time I tried it - which is 4-5 years ago. At that time, it was more cumbersome and unstable. Now It Just Works™

All I did:

  • Install KDEConnect from F-Droid
  • Installed the GSConnect GNOME Shell extension
  • Opened up for cross-VPN client access on UDP+TCP port 1716 through 1764 in the VPN server's firewall
  • Manually added the VPN IP address of the computer in the mobile client's KDEConnect app

To get GSConnect to work yesterday, I had to to run systemctl --user reload dbus-broker.service after installing the GNOME extension to get the required backend helper service running. This was only needed yesterday. Otherwise, I suspect logging out and in again would also work.

A quién (que use #KDE Connect) le va regular (creo) #GSConnect. Se me suele quedar tonto al desconectar y volver a conectar.
