Which version of XUbuntu and KDE Connect are you using? I'm quite sure this was fixed.

Comment 2 voojj3054 2020-10-16 14:45:04 UTC

Xubuntu 20.04

Note: I previously installed ubuntu, then installed xubuntu-desktop and deleted ubuntu, 
 I will do a clean installation of xubuntu 
running kdeconnect-app 
Give me this: 
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qml/main.qml:93 Cannot assign object of type "DevicesModel" to property of type "QAbstractItemModel*" as the former is neither the same as the latter nor a sub-class of it.

Comment 3 voojj3054 2020-10-16 22:36:41 UTC

I reinstalled xubuntu 20.04, same error!

Comment 4 Nicolas Fella 2020-10-17 15:35:19 UTC

I gave it a try in a Xubuntu VM and it's just like I expected. The problem was fixed but only in a later version than is shipped in 20.04. The change is small however so I can try to get it into 20.04 as well

I tried to build from source but I got ECM (CMAKE-extra-modules) outdated error while building..

Comment 8 Nicolas Fella 2020-10-18 13:43:14 UTC

I just released a new update with a fix. When it will be available in Xubuntu is up to the Ubuntu team now.
