I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a few different ways
(
on my ubuntu-based “tuxedo os” system, stuff like:
$ sudo apt-get purge kdeconnect
and then like:
$ sudo apt-get install --fix-broken --fix-missing --install-recommends --install-suggests kdeconnect
)
but I keep getting errors like:
$ kdeconnect-cli --refresh
=>
error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed", "Failed to execute program org.kde.kdeconnect: No such file or directory")
error: Failed to execute program org.kde.kdeconnect: No such file or directory

The weird thing is, I don’t even really remember kdeconnect getting an update before the problem started?
(Although like, I could easily have just overlooked it in the list when I did an update – update lists aren’t the most legible in apt/apt-get, compared to, like, opensuse’s zypper…)
The most recent thing I actually changed in my setup
was pairing a new device
(just had my one phone before, but then a day or two ago I also paired a “Quest Pro” vr headset)
– but why would pairing any new device affect the kdeconnect program on my computer?
So I’m thinking that’s gotta be a coincidence, right…
EDIT EDIT:
uh, I just thought to try this…
But I’m not familiar enough to know whether I should expect this output to be complete?
But I note it does show the last upgrade as back on Aug26,
and then nothing until today, Sep03
(which I think was all just me trying to reinstall it)
$ cat /var/log/dpkg.log*|command grep kdeconnect|sort
