Hello!

I’ve been using KDE Connect and for years on Ubuntu without any bigger problems. A few weeks ago, I upgraded to Ubuntu 24.10. Since then, kdeconnect-sms does not work anymore, everything else still seems to work. What does “not work anymore” mean? When I click on the Icon, nothing happens. When I run it directly from the command line, I get this:

~ kdeconnect-sms
qt.qml.typeresolution.cycle: Cyclic dependency detected between "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/private/TextFieldContextMenu.qml" and "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/MenuItem.qml"
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/kdeconnect/sms/Main.qml:67:28: Type ConversationList unavailable
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/kdeconnect/sms/ConversationList.qml:159:9: Type ConversationDisplay unavailable

qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/kdeconnect/sms/ChatMessage.qml:11:1: module "org.kde.kirigamiaddons.components" is not installed

Other KDE Connect apps that have a UI like kdeconnect-settings still open. Any ideas what causes this problem? I Appreciate any help.

KDE Connect version Ubuntu 24.10 is using: 24.05.2

This is a packaging bug.

The package should depend on qml6-module-org-kde-kirigamiaddons-components.

Maybe installing it manually helps, but there might be further things missing as the packagers don’t seem to have tested kdeconnect-sms.
