From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE connect stops working after suspension (lemmy.world)

Hi guys! Seems my KDE connect will stop being able to connect with my phone after my computer goes to sleep. After it wakes, it dectects no devices anymore. It seems to work again after a reboot. Any idea why might this happen?

I think this has started happening since KDE connect was decoupled from the Settings panel into its own app.

KDE Neon, based off of Ubuntu 24.04, kernel 7.0.0-28-generic.

Thanks!

I don't know why it does this, but I have similar troubles. I use

kdeconnect-cli --refresh

instead of rebooting though.

Thanks, I'm going to try this.

great another one to add to my alias pile, thank you

EDIT : this does not fix my issues

[–] dialectalraveling@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think that is a good place for it. Doesn't alias stuff in the bashrc only run at terminal start? The KDE connect issue is during suspend. I've heard of it going in cron, and I know there is a thread out there about doing it on wake.

https://discuss.kde.org/t/script-to-keep-kdeconnect-connected/18520

There are a few threads like this. I won't link them all.

I put it as something in .bash_aliases as

alias something='this command'
[–] dialectalraveling@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah. My magic command is ctrl+r "kd" and it pops up from last time.

Had similar issues, disconnecting wifi and reconnecting it on the computer usually fixes it.

It's been happening on the latest macOS as well. I just quit and relaunch the app to fix it; but yeah, it's annoying.

I managed to fix the same problem by installing avahi and nss-mdns.

sudo apt install -y avahi-daemon avahi-utils libnss-mdns

Should do the trick on Ubuntu.

I think I just had the same issue, but not with sleep, I logged out and back in
