kdeconnectd error (solved)

[caspar88]

Started to get this error recently, usually when I boot the system but also at other times. 

Can't find much information online about the cause of this, any suggestions?

Thanks.

Could you give us more detail on what the error is?

Code:

journalctl -u kdeconnectd.service

Did you check if that file is writable ?
This file is used to write the left sidebar entries of dolphin or open/save file dialogs.

[AJSlye]

Agreed, that file should be writable.
However, this makes me wonder how that files default attributes ended up changed?
Are there any other files that might have the wrong attributes?
Did you at any point backup and restore any files from your home directory to a ntfs formatted drive?

Thanks for the replies.


Does that look correct?

Code:

doug@doug-Aspire-M1930:~$ journalctl -u kdeconnectd.service
-- No entries --

I have recently acquired a USB external hard drive that was previously used on a macbook but I formatted it to EXT4 before using.

Does that look correct?

Nlpe that does not look right to me. Why is the file owned by root and not your user?
Can you try changing the owner and group of that file.

The terminal command

Code:

sudo chown yourUsername:yourUsername /path/tofile

should help. (be aware to replace the path to the file and yourUsername with the name of your user)

Thanks, seems to have fixed the problem.
