From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Connect refuses to work - (solved, thanks for help!) (lemmy.world)

Hi, on fresh install (multiple) of Fedora 42 GNOME the KDE Connect app after install wont open.

Either it will stay running in processes but nothing will display or it will immediately crash with an error.

GSconnect doesn't even show up after install.

If I install Fedora 42 KDE it works fine. But I don't like KDE. Any idea what's up with this?

EDIT: Thanks for help, anyhow. In the end I found that I will just use KDE Connect for clipboard between my laptop, PC and phone but the desired functionality I wanted when connected to my phone is available with scrcpy and it's quite something. Can't believe it has such a stupid name as I never heard of it. It's so freaking good!

By the way. AFter fresh install I've installed GSConnect directly from extensions and it immediatelly shows up in the menu by default. The GSConnect from Discover store shows as not installed. Also nowhere in the Discover store it says it's an extensions.

They really need to make this more clear tbh, it's very confusing for people who never used it.

Maybe Discover isn't the best choice. I believe that's made for the KDE desktop and Gnome should come with "Gnome Software" per default?! I'm not entirely sure what kind of concept Fedora has. I usually use the command line or some of the older package managers with more options and settings, so I can't really tell what's best here. These modern and shiny ones also regularly confuse me and I install Flatpaks by accident or whatever. Maybe try something else, maybe the Fedora community has some recommendations for a better one.

Yes, it's Gnome Software. Discover = Gnome Software... the default app finder that comes with the OS once you install it. It's not like I've installed a different app searcher for some reason.
