Bug ID: 452710
Summary: Transfers of images, 1 or more, silently fails, or
just halts forever.
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: jagg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The halting has been an issue I've experienced with kdeconnect going back as
far as I can remember.
It's as if a timeout or retry is not handled properly.
Actually it seems like two issues now:
1. Some transfer failure results in the Android and Linux side sitting there in
a transfer -- never progressing, and on the Android side never ending
(notification just stays there, at some count through, saying "Sending 10 {or
whatever} files to...").
Once failed, it usually won't let me get any other transfers to start.
1a. This usually and frequently happens with "large" numbers of files. 10
isn't very large, but right now my 10 is sitting there halted also.
2. Last week, with another linux box, I couldn't get a single file to transfer,
and no notifications would pop up on the linux end.
Currently on android (OnePlus 6, OxygenOS), with kdeconnect 1.19.1.
Linux side is Debian Stable with kdeconnect package version: 20.12.3-2
(I could find some other bug reports with a crashing linux side, it seems, but
not this silent failure.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to photos, select one or more
2. Share -> KDE connect -> {system name} or one of the Share items with "KDE
connect {System name}" as a single option.
3. Wait for transfer to just stop somewhere and not progress.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Transfer either doesn't start, or just hangs at some file count.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Failed transfers should definitely time out, or preferably retry until they
succeed, with a longer timeout if it never works (and a notification showing
the last fully-completed file transferred).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.20.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.10.0-13-amd64
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using the file-transfer module from the PC, accessing the android filesystem ->
DCIM, and transferring, seems to work consistently, without timeouts or hangs.
Thank you for kdeconnect. :)
