Bug ID: 497403
Summary: clipboard on fedora desktop cleared by kdeconnectd
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 24.08.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
kdeconnectd clears the clipboard of the desktop pc permanently, but this
happens randomly.
watching "xsel -b -o" constantly you can briefly see the immediate clearing of
the clipboard right after CTRL-C something into the clipboard.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
none. happens randomly.
diagnosing it with:
watch -n 0.5 'echo -n "primary:"; xsel -p -o;echo;echo -n "secondary:";xsel -s
-o ;echo;echo -n "clip:"; xsel -b -o'
helps catching the brief moment, when the copied text is in the clipboard, but
gets deleted immediatly.
OBSERVED RESULT
Setup:
- Desktop PC Fedora atm 24.08.3 F40 Cinnamon DE
- Tablet ( Gnome DE with GSConnect Fedora 41 GS 46.6.1)
- Tablet ( Gnome DE with GSConnect Fedora 41 GS 46.6.1)
- Android 5
- Android 4
The Androids are not in use most of the time, the tablet is in use very
frequently, so my guess is, those two have been involved in the following
incidents:
Before we start, this happens for more than two years now from time to time,
with different constellations of devices active.
Two days ago, the clipboard stopped working after hours into the desktop
session.
Today it happened directly after starting of the Desktopsession. Because i
suspected kdeconnect to be the issues, i tried to immediately "killall -9
kdeconnectd" which did not succeed as planed, because it got restarted
instantly(new pid) for 20 times in a row untill i killed the
kdeconnect-indicator two. ( You should really add a QUIT KDECONNECT to the
system tray!).
After kdeconnectd was killed finally, the clipboard worked again as expected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sharing of the clipboard, not clearing it permanently.
