Dolphin

[Sigurd]

Hi,
I tried to send some files from my computer to my smartphone via Dolphin. But Dolphin does not recognize the smartphone drive. An error message says the drive does not exist. I remember former Dolphin was able to do that. So, I used PCManFM for the job and it worked fine. But how can I make Dolphin to do the job too?
Kind regards,
Sigurd

There's a bug in bionic's dolphin that gives spurious errors on mounting stuff. The error is a timing issue, and if you try again in dolphin it gets over it.

If your smartphone runs android, and it connects to the same LAN as Kubuntu, I suggest looking into KDE Connect. There's an app in the Play store.

Hi jlittle,
Thank you for your advice. My smartphone runs android 7 and I will try KDE Connect.
Kind regards,
Sigurd

If you have the default firewall, ufw, enabled, you may need to open a couple of ports as described in the trouble-shooting section of https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect

sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp
sudo ufw reload

Hi chimak111,

I did the orders in the Konsole. Now Dolphin recognizes my smartphone. But when I click on the smartphone to go to the folders and files of it I still will get the attached message.

Kind regards,
Sigurd

This regression is annoying!! I get this after updating to 18.04 and till now it is not solved yet. As if no developer use Dolphin to transfer files to their andoird phone!!

however, as you said the workroudn is to install anthor file manger. I install nautilus and it is working perfectly.
