nitroshare
Kubuntu 18.04.1 - Nitroshare can't see other devices, nor can other devices see it
Hi
-
I have installed Nitroshare latest version on my windows pc, android device and kubuntu 18.04.1 machine.
-
The Windows 7 and Android MotoG5 can see each other transfer files.
-
The Kubuntu 18.04.1 machine however can't see any other devices, nor can any other device see it. When trying to send files from kubuntu machine, the device list is empty.
I tried install Nitroshare from default apt repository, and also compiled the latest version from source. The problem remains the same.
I tried opening ports using ufw/gufw (iptables), and it still does not work.
How to fix ?
Here is the output of the netstat command
$ netstat -lnpt

Why is port 40818 open only in tcp6 ? And why not tcp ? Could this be the reason for it not working ?
It seems that Nitroshare is using ipv4 on windows 7 and ipv6 on ubuntu. is that the reason why they are not detecting each other ?
Replying 3+ months later...
I have the same issue and I think it is because the distro has nitroshare 0.33, which is not the latest one, so it makes some "incompatibility" between new and old versions.
The relevant netstat output
$ netstat -lnpt

I have made a bug report to update it... 2 months ago https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927267
Debian testing x64, ipv6 disabled at kernel level, no firewall to block anything.
