SUMMARY Since the recent issues with opensuse tumbleweed release re: RSA problem (now fixed) etc, no devices appear in either desktop widget or phone (Android 8.1) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login to desktop and phone 2. Attempt to pair OBSERVED RESULT No devices identified in order to pair. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS opensuse:tumbleweed:20210616 Qt: 5.15.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.83.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.22.0 - kwin 5.22.0 kmail2 5.17.2 (21.04.2) - akonadiserver 5.17.2 (21.04.2) - Kernel: 5.12.10-1-default ADDITIONAL INFORMATION kdeconnect-cli 21.04.2 kdeconnect on phone 1.17.0
I faced the same issue with the same configuration for current opensuse tumbleweed: - The desktop application kdeconnect-settings doesn't show any devices on the local net - Other devices don't show the desktop system running tumbleweed - These devices show mobile and desktop systems _not_ running tumbleweed My workaround was: - stop kdeconnectd (and other related services) - remove ~/.config/kdeconnect After restart of kdeconnectd, the folder ~/.config/kdeconnect got created with default content. Device discovery (both directions) is back to normal since then.

I have multiple logins on my desktop and i paired with each one and my phone listed the devicename/userid for each, it now just lists my main machine name multiple times - is this new or am i missing something?

I don't know whether there's an automatic mechanism to identify accounts on a single machine. But I assume that you can provide different/arbitrary name values in each of the users' ~/.config/kdeconnect/config files. Never tried that myself though.

Its not something i've done before, it just worked that way. I'll close this as Fixed and open a new one for the names. thanks for the help
