Network Error

GSConnect requires ports 1716-1764 for TCP and UDP. This error means another program is using those ports, usually KDE Connect (kdeconnectd).

GSConnect does not require the KDE Connect desktop application and will not work with it installed. If KDE Connect is installed, you should stop the process and uninstall it.

Once the conflicting application is stopped, you must restart the service before you can connect to other devices.

Check if KDE Connect is running

$ pidof kdeconnectd
18839

Check which program is using the port

$ lsof -i UDP:1716
COMMAND     PID   USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
kdeconnec 18839 andrew   19u  IPv6 2394913      0t0  UDP *:1716

Stop the program using the port

$ kill -15 `lsof -t -i UDP:1716`

OpenSSL not found

GSConnect uses OpenSSL to generate TLS certificates and RSA keys. This error means GSConnect could not find openssl, which usually only happens for Fedora Silverblue users.

Fedora Silverblue users have reported this can be installed with rpm-ostree:

$ sudo rpm-ostree install openssl
$ sudo systemctl reboot

PulseAudio Not Found

GSConnect uses the PulseAudio bindings included with GNOME Shell for volume control features. This error means that GSConnect failed to find Gvc-1.0.typelib.

If you installed GSConnect from the Extensions Website or Zip file, please open a New Issue including your distribution.

If you installed GSConnect from a distribution package, please file a bug with the package maintainer and reference the Packaging page.
