KDE Connect Empty, Errors when ran via cli

KDE Connect is Empty

Running kdeconnect-app via command line returns the following after displaying the GUI.

Running /usr/lib/kdeconnectd returns the following:

new capabilities for  "Android"

  • I have tried installing kdeconnect from the extra repo and the AUR but the issue is the same.

  • I also have tried adding the following to my /etc/environment, as I saw a similar post that mentioned it could be a problem with Wayland.

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

I hope you can help me, I am really looking forward to use KDE Connect for school presentations. Thank you very much, and I apologize for any mistakes as English is not my first language.

Can anyone help me resolve this problem? Very much appreciated.

I don’t have the answer, but running /usr/lib/kdeconnectd manually worked for me on Alpine Linux, on Wayland (so Wayland probably isn’t your issue).
