Fedora 23, Kdeconnect 0.9.3 I'm experimenting pc <-> laptop connection through KDE connect, however I'm facing one issue: it seems like both pc and laptop are considered as 1 device, one time a pair request appears on the laptop screen, one time in the pc screen. My configuration is: 1) valerio@valerio-laptop (laptop device name) 2) valerio@valerio-casa (pc device name) The root of the problem seems be the user name, that is the same on both the devices. If I change the user (such as "test" user in the laptop) I can see the pc in the laptop device list window, ready to make a pair request. To me, it sounds like a bug because one user can have multiple devices with the same user name. So kdeconnect should not use only the user name to identify a device, but also the host name or such. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a user in device 1 and call it TEST 2. Create a user in device 2 and call it TEST 3. Log in bth the devices with the TEST user and try to pair the two devices Actual Results: It is impossible pair the two pc if the user name is the same Expected Results: One user can have multiple devices inside the same LAN and kdeconnect should pair all of them without problems.
The user name is only used to show it to the user and never to identify a device, so it can't be the cause of the issue. Each device has a unique id, randomly generated on first run, that identifies it. This problem could happen if you copied your config files from one system to the other: then the unique identifier would be the same.
