Indicator not showing up in Ubuntu 15.10 #31

Open metalbrick opened 8 years ago

metalbrick commented 8 years ago

the KDE-Connect Worked perfectly, but there's no indicator in the panel, thus I can no longer use the features such like "Browse device" conveniently.

Deus-Rex commented 8 years ago

Having same problem.

If I try to start the indicator using terminal, I get the following:

** Message: KDEConnectManager.vala:32: KDE Connect daemon found ** Message: Device.vala:73: device : /modules/kdeconnect/devices/1b34fcf462e1729 ** Message: Device.vala:263: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'isReachable' in interface 'org.kde.kdeconnect.device' at object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/1b34fcf462e1729' (signature '') ** Message: Device.vala:263: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'isReachable' in interface 'org.kde.kdeconnect.device' at object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/1b34fcf462e1729' (signature '') ** Message: Device.vala:263: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'isReachable' in interface 'org.kde.kdeconnect.device' at object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/1b34fcf462e1729' (signature '') ** Message: Device.vala:263: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'isReachable' in interface 'org.kde.kdeconnect.device' at object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/1b34fcf462e1729' (signature '')

I'm getting the same list of error messages like @Deus-Rex when trying to start it on Arch.

Same problem here.

OS: Ubuntu 15.10 (unity)

KDE Connect works fine. Ping, notifications, remote mouse...

indicator-kdeconnect doen't show the tray icon. Sometimes show this window, other times don't show anything.

Terminal output:

Im having the same issue with a new arch install. No icon. Everything else works fine. I get messages, can even remote mouse. But no icon with Arch + XFCE 4

Any ideas?

ghost commented 8 years ago

Same problem here: OS: Ubuntu 15.10 (unity), no tray icon.

FloEdelmann commented 8 years ago

I know that I did have the same problem with the ownCloud desktop sync indicator until I changed the apt-repository and got the updated application from there. Maybe that helps finding the cause.

varlesh commented 8 years ago

I build packages for Wily. Please use this repository: https://launchpad.net/~varlesh-l/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-tools

sudo apt-get purge kdeconnect
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:varlesh-l/ubuntu-tools
sudo apt-get update
kill1n commented 8 years ago

Hi and thanks varlesh.

I'm using your instructions. Now i can see the indicator and seems work the most options. Only, when i click "browse the device", nautilus open a blank folder.

Other options like battery percentage, ping, mouse, notifications, etc.. seems work fine.

I never use kdeconnect previously. I forgot something?

khartahk commented 8 years ago

I'm also not seeing the icon on gnome shell 3.18 on arch. When I installed systemsettings package for KDE I could pair the device and message notifications work, I can send files from the phone but not to it. I can control the mouse, keyboard on the computer. The only thing missing is browse the phone and send to phone from nemo and the indicator icon. I tried to install the nautilus-kdeconnect python script but it's not working with nemo. Any direction on what to do next will be appreciated.

watermelonjuice commented 8 years ago

Any update on this?

sergioad commented 8 years ago

Hello @varlesh I am also having issues with KDE connect, I am in Xubuntu 16.04 and kDE connect indicator does not appears, if you have any solution or you know a workarround for this please let me know, greetings from Mexico :smile:

PS: I recommend you to upgrade it to work with Qt5 :smile:

tristan-k commented 8 years ago

@sergioad Isnt this related to XFCE? Have a look at http://blog.alteroot.org/articles/2013-11-16/kdeconnect-with-android-and-xfce-archlinux.html

tristan-k commented 8 years ago

I have to correct myself here. @rcristi fork solves the problem. Here are the steps to compile on Xubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0-dev libappindicator3-dev valac
git clone https://github.com/rcristi/indicator-kdeconnect
cd indicator-kdeconnect
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

Here's a binary I built with checkinstall

indicator-kdeconnect_20160512-1_amd64.zip

sergioad commented 8 years ago

As @vikoadi said before this is bgecause of Qt5 @tristan-k (or at east this is what I think) anyway I will try it soon with the fork you said :smile:

lutostag commented 8 years ago

With a new build from https://github.com/rcristi/indicator-kdeconnect I got it working for me. I was running into the same issue. PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~lutostag/+archive/ubuntu/indicator-kdeconnect-test

(couldn't get it to build for precise with the versioned dependencies). Not sure if they are necessary of not.

Still can't get remote file browsing to work though.

bam80 commented 8 years ago

@lutostag , still can't get indicator visible in Ubuntu 15.10 even with your PPA. indicator-kdeconnect prints nothing wile running from terminal

lutostag commented 8 years ago

@bam80 yeah unfortunately it is still a bit finicky. The only way I get it to work currently is to run: kcmshell5 kcm_kdeconnect # make sure it it connected to your device, then only after that... indicator-kdeconnect #works for me and shows up in the systemtray.

ghost commented 8 years ago

@vikoadi @bam80 using @tristan-k 's .deb and running @lutostag 's commands as a startup script, i have managed to reliably get the indicator to appear in ubuntu 16.04, only if my screen is turned on

LXLE 16.04.1 got indicator-kdeconnect working of sorts with this, but no nice icon in the applet-indicators thingy at the top of LXLE
