kdeconnect-indicator only outputs
kf.windowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin
when kdeconnectd is already running, else it outputs
error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "Could not activate remote peer: unit failed.")
error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "Could not activate remote peer: unit failed.")

What distribution are you using? This error looks like a missing/incorrect service file for starting kdeconnect through dbus.

If you ecplicitly start kdeconnectd (using the command "kdeconnectd"), then start the indicator, does something show up?
