Look in "System Settings", "KDE Connect" for an option to disable the service. 2. ... then try "System Settings", "Startup and Shutdown", "Background Services" EXPECTED RESULTS: A "Enable KDE Connect" option that can be unchecked... DESIRED RESULT: An option that is not checked until you decide to... SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: System Settings 5.18.0 kdeconnect 1.4 (?) from Neon Testing KDE Plasma 5.18.0 KDE Frameworks 5.68.0 Qt 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: There's an option in System Settings "File Search" to enable or disable search. Looking for an equivalent option for kdeconnect Request triggered by a discussion that the "slow start for gwenview" might be related to running kdeconnect (Bug 411196) Looks like not all distributions have KDEconnect installed by default, seemingly Fedora does not, Neon does. In the case that it is installed, there should be an easily discoverable way of controlling it and maybe it should not be active by default. There's the principle that if a service is not needed it should not be running by default (all the more so when it has an open port) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeconnect/+bug/1871030/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2020-02-14T21:30:38+00:00 Matthijstijink-k wrote: You can just uninstall it, if it's not needed. Otherwise, I _think_ you can disable it by removing the plasmoid, and overriding the XDG autostart (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Autostart). I am going to leave this bug open though, since having such an option could be useful in some cases (e.g. multi-user systems).

More magic seemily required. Uninstall works (without taking out other apps/libraries). "Wishlist" is fine; heads up though that there a process with an open port (seemingly just IPv6...)

If it lists a service listening on "tcp6", it is _also_ listening on IPv4.

This may be a great application, but it should hide itself as a preference; there needs to be a way to toggle it on and off without uninstalling it.

It is marked as "NoDisplay", though. I was wondering if the Autostart KCM should display such services, perhaps marked as essential system service. But I can already see users shooting themselves in the foot by disabling autostart of plasmashell or power management service :) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeconnect/+bug/1871030/comments/8 ** Changed in: kdeconnect-desktop Importance: Unknown => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871030 Title: There's no Option to Disable the Startup of KDEConnect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdeconnect-desktop/+bug/1871030/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
