Description Andreas Gunkel 2024-09-22 09:39:32 UTC

dolphin no longer responds when accessing an Android smartphone. Quitting Dolphin does not work. Even a “kill -9” of the processes does not work:

gunkel@Nexus:~> kill -9 4315
gunkel@Nexus:~> ps ax | grep dolphin
 4315 ?        Zl     0:01 [dolphin] <defunct>

only by logging in again or restarting the computer does dolphin work again.

testet with:
OpenSuse Leap 15.6 & KDE 5
Manjaro & KDE 6

Android 13 (Google Pixel 4a)

Ideally, there's two things to fix:
- kdeconnnect which eats up all cpu
- dolphin which hangs because of kdeconnect (so that future bugs don't hang dolphin)

The dolphin part happens when right clicking on a file because dolphin tries to create the Share context menu entry. The backtrace mentions kdeconnectfileitemaction.so (no symbol server with Manjaro).
