For a week now I haven’t been able to connect with Kde connect anymore. My laptop doesn’t show up in the list. My to cellphones can connect though. Everything’s up to date. Anybody who would know why and what to do about it?
Even more annoying is that usb connection doesn’t work either, so I can’t copy anything onto my laptop . It works fine under Windows.
OK, so for anybody who has the same problem: I enabled ufw in system settings, but did not open the necessary ports for kde connect to work:
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp
sudo ufw reload
Mentioning your OS is crucial. Also I dont know which OS doesnt preinstall a Firewall, which is pretty bad. Fedora has one for example. Many firewalls allow you to check the ports for apps graphically, like Fedoras Firewalld (?)
KDE Neon, all updates. Normally ufw is not activated. You can view/add/remove ports graphically in systemsettings.
Not activating a firewall by default is really strange and insecure. KDE Neon probably uses ufw like Kubuntu, while Fedora uses firewalld.
