How restore Zorin Connect after removing it

Please ensure that kdeconnect is Listening:

sudo ss -turelp | grep kdeconnect

Check if KDEConnect on your computer sees phone using the Kde Connect CLI application (the following is Dash "L" -l, not Dash "I" -i):

kdeconnect-cli -l

Using your Phone IP address, you can try to pair with kdeconnect CLI using kdeconnect-cli --pair

first command, not sure listening or not.

second comman:

i don't know how to include ip in that command, it opens the help list:
i wrote it like this : kdeconnect-cli --pair myiiphere
space then ip.
i have my device on my android as well and keep refreshing.

Looks good. Kdeconnect is listed and is listening.

It is not seeing your phone, though...

IP follows the pair

Or you can ensure the ports are open:

netcat -z -v <phone-ip-address> 1714-1764

Sadly, I cannot advise you on how to obtain your phone IP as this can vary a lot. You might start out with going to Settings > About Phone.

i left a space between pair and the ip as seen here.

failed: No route to host

Let's see if UFW is the cause of this:

sudo systemctl stop ufw.service

sudo ufw allow 1716:1764/udp

sudo ufw allow 1716:1764/tcp

sudo ufw reload

should i enable it?

Yes:

sudo systemctl start ufw.service

Sorry, I should have posted that. I am moving too fast, here.

Also, remove the configuration files in case they are corrupted:

rm -rf ~/.config/kdeconnect

Then relaunch KDEConnect Settings and see if it can see your phone

should i click ok?

Close any active kdeconnect windows and open a new instance.

should i rewrite the command?

rm -rf ~/.config/kdeconnect

or just open a new instance

Just open new.

okay i did that, l'm refreshing in both my devices, which are both connected to wifi.


should i change any of these settings in my router maybe?

Possibly? I have heard of it being the cause of issues with kdeconnect before.

I wouldn't know how to guide you on that front. However, I am at a loss as to the cause of your device not being seen now, so it may be your next best thing to try.

If your router has a Reset to factory defaults- be fearless. You have done very well so far.

i tried enabling DMZ , no luck.
What else i can try

I would not enable DMZ. That's dangerous.

Instead, check the Port Forwarding, Port Mapping...

it's empty

Yes, I am not familiar with your Router device enough to be helpful at this point...
