Bug ID: 357768
Summary: When two pc have the same user name kdeconnet doesn't
find any device to pair
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: valeriod...@yahoo.it
Fedora 23, Kdeconnect 0.9.3
I'm experimenting pc <-> laptop connection through KDE connect, however I'm
facing one issue:
it seems like both pc and laptop are considered as 1 device, one time a pair
request appears on the laptop screen, one time in the pc screen.
My configuration is:
1) valerio@valerio-laptop (laptop device name)
2) valerio@valerio-casa (pc device name)
The root of the problem seems be the user name, that is the same on both the
devices. If I change the user (such as "test" user in the laptop) I can see the
pc in the laptop device list window, ready to make a pair request.
To me, it sounds like a bug because one user can have multiple devices with the
same user name. So kdeconnect should not use only the user name to identify a
device, but also the host name or such.
Thanks.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a user in device 1 and call it TEST
2. Create a user in device 2 and call it TEST
3. Log in bth the devices with the TEST user and try to pair the two devices
Actual Results:
It is impossible pair the two pc if the user name is the same
Expected Results:
One user can have multiple devices inside the same LAN and kdeconnect should
pair all of them without problems.
