KDE Connect and Connman are not working.

Hello everyone.

Please check the operation of these applications; it may be a bug. I checked on Windows and everything works fine.

My steps:

1. Installed KDE Connect on my computer and phone.

Code: [Select]

$ sudo pacman -S kdeconnect

Install KDE Connect for Android https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.kde.kdeconnect_tp/

2. Turned on Wi-Fi on my phone and connman-gtk on my computer.

3. Launched the programs on my computer and phone.

After these steps, I should normally see the name of my phone in the KDE Connect interface on my computer. Now, no matter what I do, I see nothing.

Hello everyone.
I figured it out, it was my mistake, I forgot about the firewall)) By default, kdeconnect listens on port 1716, depending on what kind of firewall you have, add a rule like this:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo ufw allow 1716
