i reinstall kdeconnect but it shows same error.
i tried to update desktop environment as well.
and i also tried chatgpt to fix my problem.
but nothing workout.
finally after lots of tries i found a temporary solution.
but i want to start the kdeconnectd service automatically can any body know how to fix my issue permanently.
I am having the same issue, kdeconnectd disappeared from my device, it was there before and i could connect to my phone.
When i do:
$ sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kdeconnectd
I get:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

You should take some time to learn how to format a post, using Tilde or backticks to paste code instead of uploading images like a noob…
Using Kali Linux with KDEConnect and not understanding this basic tactic brands you as a noob who want’s to be thought of as a respected hacker - not an IT Professional.
You should consider a more basic distribution with a helpful forum, and also learn how to use the terminal - including the man pages.
You should also learn how to manage your services using systemd - though if you had installed a decent KDE desktop, it would actually just work out of the box.
TL;DR
-
If you’re a Kali user - RTFM because you’re already proficient.
-
If you aren’t, then install something more suitable and learn before migrating to an advanced distribution.
Are you sure you didn’t change something ( settings in phone maybe, as in, which directory to use) cause I’m on MX and kdeconnect works every time, all the time. I can go visit Dorothy and the wicked witch, come back and it just connects.

Ya, I just told your girlfriend what you said…
Wow, are you really supposed to do that?
Basically, you should be able to simply install kdeconnect. There’s also ‘indicator-kdeconnect’, KDE Connect SMS which should be pulled in with KDEConnect, but check that anyway.
To see if it’s running, you should use something like this:
ps -e | grep kdeconnectd
What your command appears to be trying to do is to launch the kdeconnectd daemon with superuser privileges - not sure why you’d do that… can you explain why you think you should give it superuser powers?
kdeconnect-app
Should launch the KDEConnect window.
There’s also a command kdeconnect-cli.
Anyway, mixing up all these commands and running stuff as sudo is likely to do damage well outside any minor issue you might have. As a general rule, never use sudo.
That’s right - if you run a command like pacman -Syu on an Arch system, the terminal will come back:
error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
This is safe.
You can then press AltS and run it as sudo. You don’t need to put sudo in front unless you are sure it’s the right thing to do.

The last line is the error i get when i press on “Find devices”

I don’t know it’s weird, i never changed anything on my android phone, i installed docker on my MXLinux. The weird thing is that i cant find kdeconnectd on my machine, even when i reinstall kdeconnect
However, one time kdeconnectd was using too much CPU and i killed the process using btop.
