GSconnect downloaded not working

  • 772

I have downloaded and extracted GSConnect (Shell 3.30 extension 19) to my ASUS laptop, I have downloaded the "sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell".

I downloaded the KDE app to my Samsung J2 Pro, and it seems to work.

I have extracted the zip archive, but it is not working, my phone shows "No devices". (even after a reboot of the laptop).

I'm using MATE on Ubuntu 18.04. I cannot find GSConnect listed anywhere on my laptop other than in the Downloads folder, it shows a folder with 11 items, some of which are also folders.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hal.

    You cannot use gsconnect with mate. You can however use the regular kde connect. Just add this ppa as described here:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/indicator-kdeconnect
sudo apt-get update

    then:

    sudo apt install kdeconnect indicator-kdeconnect

    Now start the indicator from the app menu and you should be good to go.
