[KDE] KDE Connect file browser and more

[SecretCode]

I know a number of you use kdeconnect - well, woodsmoke at least

And I've seen some threads about issues with 16.04. I'm still safely on 14.04, but the kdeconnect file browser has stopped working for me in the past few days. Even after restarting the phone and the desktop, and unpairing and repairing, I get "Failed to mount filesystem: device not responding"

Now I've often had occasional dropouts with kdeconnect, sometimes fixable by sending a ping, always fixable by restarting or re-pairing. Not this one.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm on 0.8-0ppa3+pkg7~ubuntu14.04.1 on KDE
and plain "version 1.0" on Android
Fully updated on both

Looks like it might be an issue with not having the latest version packaged for 14.04 - what versions do you have?

kdeconnect stopped working for me on 16.04 (ver 0.9) when they updated the android side to 1.0. I haven't tried grabbing and compiling any pre-release code for it yet to see how the new features are coming along.

I'm using v0.9g-1 under Debian Unstable and kdeconnect works fine. So - there is hope

I imagine someone's PPA'd a later version somewhere.

edit: Yup. Found one - but it won't help you much with 14.04 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeconnect-plasma

Thanks - looks like a good plan would be to compile myself. I can see where to get the source from (using git) and I imagine there will be build instructions in it ... just going to take a bit of work!
