Talk:KDEConnect

KDEConnect is still missing a very useful feature, luckily already implemented in GSConnect: Dial-up. When the PC user clicks on a "tel:" hyperlink, and this link type is associated with " KDEConnect", then it should, like GSConnect, transfer the phone number mentioned in the link to the smartphone dial-up application, display it and stay waiting for the push on the (green) dial-up button. I hope that, because this feature exists already in GSConnect, copying the code into KDEConnect would not be a big deal and can hence be quickly implemented. PS. I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss this. Please advice.

This is not the right place to discuss - chances that a KDEConnect developer will notice a feature request here is not great. The best way is probably to make a feature request on bugzilla. Claus chr (talk) 08:22, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Page broken

If I go to https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect, I get a pink box with the following error

> [fe207a0d9d835c0ef7a8e13a] 2024-04-05 21:21:15: Fatal exception of type "TypeError"

I am unable to compare the current version to previous versions

I'm not too familiar with the mediawiki system, but it seems like removing the youtube links allows it to render. Tried replacing the ev syntax with the <youtube> tag, and it still resulted in a TypeError. Seems like a December 2022 edit is the last revision that can currently render. --Johnaoss (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for drawing our attention to this problem. I think your analysis is correct, but I can't do anything about it presently – I can't even access the offending edit or edit the page itself. I get the same error as when I try to view either of them.

If you still can edit the page, can you please comment out the offending section (place  after the offending section. If this doesn't work, another possible suspect is one of the latest two edits. I know that the page was rendering correctly when I last edited it on november 6. 2023.

In the meantime I'll try to see if anything has changed in the handling of video rendering recently. In the end I may have to ask our sysadmins for help, but I would like to be able to provide as much info as possible before I ask for their help.

modern network

I was going to add modern fixes for the network, but was scared away by the translation things I still don't understand. So leaving this here as a draft, but feel free to move to the page if you want to:

nftables

To add kdeconnect ports to the default nftables file

   # /etc/nftables.conf
   chain input {
       type filter hook input priority -1
           policy drop
           ...
           tcp dport 1714-1764 accept
           udp dport 1714-1764 accept
           ...
   }

you can then check if the file is correct with nft -c -f /etc/nftables.conf and finally reload the service. e.g. sudo systemctl restart nftables.service

modern troubleshooting

command sudo netstat -tunelp | grep -i kdeconnect should be shown along modern alternative sudo ss -tunelp | grep -i kdeconnect

Hi Gcb1

No need to be scared of the translation system. Feel free to add any changes. As long as you don't add or edit some translation tags you'll be fine. I'll keep an eye on this page and help, if something goes wrong. Claus chr (talk) 06:04, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
