Hi, on fresh install (multiple) of Fedora 42 GNOME the KDE Connect app after install wont open.

Either it will stay running in processes but nothing will display or it will immediately crash with an error.

GSconnect doesn’t even show up after install.

If I install Fedora 42 KDE it works fine. But I don’t like KDE. Any idea what’s up with this?

EDIT: Thanks for help, anyhow. In the end I found that I will just use KDE Connect for clipboard between my laptop, PC and phone but the desired functionality I wanted when connected to my phone is available with scrcpy and it’s quite something. Can’t believe it has such a stupid name as I never heard of it. It’s so freaking good!

    I’m not exactly sure what might be causing your problem, but I’m assuming you’ve tried purging & redownloading KDE Connect?

    Another one would be trying to kill whatever process it thinks it running KDE Connect. You could either find it the normal way, or this link might help if you can’t easily find the process you need to kill.
