Hello,I am experiencing an issue where KDE Connect has stopped working entirely following recent kernel updates on siduction.Problem Description:
KDE Connect was working perfectly until I updated the system. The break initially occurred immediately after upgrading to kernel version 7.1.9. Upgrading further to 7.1.10 did not resolve the issue; KDE Connect remains non-functional (it cannot detect or pair with any devices on the same local network).Environment:- OS: siduction (unstable)
- Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
- Working Kernel: 7.1.8
- Broken Kernels: 7.1.9-1-siduction-amd64 and 7.1.10-1-siduction-amd64
Steps to Reproduce:- Boot into siduction using kernel 7.1.9 or 7.1.10.
- Open KDE Connect.
- Attempt to refresh or find previously paired local network devices (e.g., Android phone).
- Notice that no devices appear, and communication fails.
Troubleshooting Done:
- Confirmed both devices are on the exact same Wi-Fi network.
- Swapping back to an older kernel temporarily fixes the issue, which isolates the problem to the 7.1.9+ kernel updates.
Thank you for looking into this![/list]
