So I was very pleasantly surprised everything just connected by itself this morning. Notifications from the mobile appeared on my desktop like it should.</p><p>This is awesome! The KDE/GSConnect user experience has really improved since last time I tried it - which is 4-5 years ago. At that time, it was more cumbersome and unstable. Now It Just Works™</p><p>All I did:</p><ul><li>Install KDEConnect from F-Droid</li><li>Installed the GSConnect GNOME Shell extension</li><li>Opened up for cross-VPN client access on UDP+TCP port 1716 through 1764 in the VPN server's firewall</li><li>Manually added the VPN IP address of the computer in the mobile client's KDEConnect app</li></ul><p>To get GSConnect to work yesterday, I had to to run <code>systemctl --user reload dbus-broker.service</code> after installing the GNOME extension to get the required backend helper service running. This was only needed yesterday. Otherwise, I suspect logging out and in again would also work.</p><p><a href="https://kdeconnect.kde.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kdeconnect.kde.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">extensions.gnome.org/extension</span><span class="invisible">/1319/gsconnect/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linuxdesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxdesktop</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobile</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oss</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a></p>
Alex0007<p>Just sharing that KDE Connect works great for file transfers to Steam Deck. It's another option that doesn't get mentioned as often as SD cards or SSH.

Robin<p>KdeConnect (on the phone) and GSConnect (on the computer) turn out to work extremely well when I'm using a computer for media playback plugged in to the TV across the room.

Anders Lund<p>A note regarding <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alttext</span></a>'s on ¤mastodon: <br>I really do not like writing on my phone, so I tend to use <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/tokodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tokodon</span></a> to write posts - like now. But adding an alt text to an image often fails, tokodon says the server replies "try to update your settings" or so. So no way to add an alt text from tokodon (after posting).<br>On the mastodon android app, pasting appears to be broken, so no way to paste a text copied from the pc (I'm using <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/kdeconnect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdeconnect</span></a> of cause) there.<br>It is possible to add an alt text using the web interface, although I find UI quite bad.</p>
