indicator kde-connect not working

[ghost]

ayush@ayush-VPCEB44EN:~$ indicator-kdeconnect ayush@ayush-VPCEB44EN:~$

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and indicator kdeconnect application just wont launch .

[spravo13]

I am having the same problem with debian testing

I recieve an alert with the message: "cannot connect to KDE Connect DBus service"

[diegonz]

Same behaviour on Ubuntu 15.10, pairing and receiving notifications on pc works great if done from kdeconnect-plasma. Also indicator wizard runs good, but the icon(s) doesn´t show at all

[armc]

Is anyone working this issue??. It would be great to get a working package back in circulation.

[spravo13]

I agree, I've been swamped so I haven't had a chance to look into the problem any further than before. Please update this thread if you find any additional information. Just got on Spring Break today (Wooo!!) so I will let you guy's know through this with what I find.

[armc]

Excellent. Good luck... but enjoy your spring break first and foremost!

Try this open terminal try use this command "kcmshell4 kcm_kdeconnect" and try to remove the device or unpair and then try it.

[armc]

I will try this when I get the chance... been packing for a trip. I'll post an update to my experience with the kcmshell4 kcm_kdeconnect and then unpair / repair. No time presently. Thank!!! :)

I'm getting the error: ** Message: Device.vala:263: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'isReachable' in interface 'org.kde.kdeconnect.device' at object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/d2d4bb6f54282ffa' (signature '')

[1595ayush]

@cmcooper123 couldn't you be more specific . What command did you run ?

[aldomann]

@1595ayush I get the same message when launching indicator-kdeconnect from the Terminal, so it must be it. To be more specific, I get this:

[1595ayush]

Well you can either use plasma(see 3rd comment by btsunami) or go to issue number #31 @aldomann

[Natsumi-sama]

@1595ayush indicator-kdeconnect, I tried removing ~/.config/kdeconnect and running "kcmshell5 kcm_kdeconnect" before after and during running indicator-kdeconnect

[lutostag]

With a new build from https://github.com/rcristi/indicator-kdeconnect I got it working for me. I was running into the same issue. PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~lutostag/+archive/ubuntu/indicator-kdeconnect-test

(couldn't get it to build for precise with the versioned dependencies). Not sure if they are necessary of not.

[NiklasMerz]

I have the same problem after upgrading my Linux Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu 14.04) to Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16.04)

[pandacriss]

lutostag, i compile your version and it work. very thankful.

[Simon0Harms]

Not working here. Ubuntu 16.04

I am also having same issue in Ubuntu 16.04 ! indicator popups do not work. Only the ping showed when i pinged from phone as soon as i installed everything on Ubuntu 16.04. then i restarted the pc and none of the popup indicators work. the only notifications i get from my phone to my pc is from the kde-monitor.

Also the kde-monitor i cannot see a mirror of my phone so i cannot remote control. I only see battery and notifications, and when i close kde-monitor, and i re-open it, it doesnt open again until i kill the process manually, then i can re-open it.

kde-monitor has no menu or indicator taskbar settings to be able to minimize it in taskbar, or close in taskbar.

Please can someone try fix the indicator problems on ubuntu 16.04?

I tried kcmshell5 kcm_kdeconnect instead of kcmshell4 and it worked. Knowing this is there a way to run the indicator?

This one is working: https://github.com/Bajoja/indicator-kdeconnect
