Description Riccardo Robecchi 2023-01-04 11:56:57 UTC

SUMMARY
I have multiple computers running Linux with KDE Plasma. For the purpose of this bug report, let's concentrate on my laptop and my tablet, which were paired with KDE Connect. They are unable to detect each other until I open the settings and I manually refresh the list of available devices. This happens both on clean boot and after suspension/hibernation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair two computers

OBSERVED RESULT
The computers require manual refresh of the available devices list before detecting each other (this needs to be done just on one device, not both).

EXPECTED RESULT
The computers, which are already paired, detect each other automatically.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While this issue was present in Ubuntu 20.04-based distros due to an issue with openssl libraries (see bug 424606), this is no longer the case with Ubuntu 20.04-based distros as there are no error messages in dmesg related to SSL.

Comment 1 Riccardo Robecchi 2025-04-20 09:45:02 UTC

I am very happy to report that, as of Plasma 6.3.4, the bug appears to be fixed!
