Here is my log file. Looks pretty similar.
gsconnect.log

andyholmes · 2021-11-13T04:36:16Z

If the connection is just outright failing, it's probably a network configuration error. Anything else there should be a real error, indicating why the connection failed.

GSConnect should only try to wipe old host keys if the connection fails with a host key error (ie. old host key), so to then find that the file doesn't exist at all seems like this is probably a configuration problem with your distribution.

I'm not familiar with Garuda Linux at all, so I'm not sure I can help much more than that, sorry.

Noobsai · 2021-11-13T11:12:11Z

DezValT1r · 2021-11-13T12:47:21Z

My distribution has been updated to gnome 41.1, I have removed gsconnect on PC and KDE_connect on phone. Installed it again and paired it. But the mounting did not work. I installed Garuda KDE and Manjaro KDE on the same computer - this function works fine there.

DezValT1r · 2021-11-13T12:57:26Z

Вот мой лог-файл. Выглядит очень похоже. gsconnect.log

is mounting working for you?

Earlier it worked on arch linux. When I installed another arch linux image on a different partition, it stopped working. Unfortunately I am unable to access the older arch linux installation, so can't comment whether it still works or not.

I tried to connect to SFTP via command line
sftp -P 1740 [email protected]
or
ssh [email protected] -p 1740

Unable to negotiate with 192.168.88.245 port 1740: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa
Connection closed.  
Connection closed

I found a solution after some searching:
Add to the ~/.ssh/config this lines:

Host 192.168.*.*
  HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

After that the mounting works again.

Update 1:
I have openssh 8.8p1 which has disabled the ssh-rsa.
https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.7

OpenSSH will disable the ssh-rsa signature scheme by default in the
next release.

Didn't work for me. I created the config file and added the lines but still can't mount.

DezValT1r · 2021-11-23T03:26:20Z

Didn't work for me. I created the config file and added the lines but still can't mount.

No need to create a config file, I just added this:
Host 192.168.x.x
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
to an existing file, which is located here: /etc/ssh/ssh_config

By looking at the original solution, I thought I was supposed to edit or create a config file in the home directory. But I did what you suggested and now it works. Thanks a lot.

DanMeadWasTaken · 2021-12-11T02:53:06Z

I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff, but I've tried both versions of the solution in this thread, neither have worked for me. i am having the exact same issue. I even figured maybe the host part was supposed to be my IP, so i tried changing it to that, I've tried all four versions (the two above with the original text and with my ip) in the bottom and the towards the top of the config file.

basically, I've tried every version of the solution given i could think of based on my little knowledge gained from playing around with linux this past month. But i haven't been able to fix it, i'm sure i'm just missing something that is probably really obvious to more knowledgeable people. so some help would be much appreciated.

i'm using gnome 41.1 on Manjaro linux 86x_64, openssh8.8p1-1, and gsconnect 48-1

andyholmes · 2021-12-11T03:24:23Z

The host is the remote host, in this case I would assume your Android phone.

Unless you're worried about someone sneaking a supercomputer onto your LAN I would just use a glob pattern like 192.168.0.* or whatever your subnet is. Picking a specific IP will be problematic if you're letting DHCP choose your IPs for you.

Like a lot of software, ssh will check in order the user configuration (~/.ssh/config) then the system configuration (/etc/ssh/ssh_config). You should probably only pick one to add the exception to, so as to avoid any possible conflicts. Personally, I would choose the user configuration file, even though you may have to create it and logout/login for it to take effect. It's up to you though.

DanMeadWasTaken · 2021-12-11T03:46:07Z

okay, this makes some more sense. So, i had actually tried just searching for the user configuration, but i could find no such file, although i did find the system configuration, and thus had been just adding it to that. Do you possibly have a link to how to find my subnet in the case that the glob pattern doesn't work?

So, probably a stupid question then, but i'm guessing based off past experience that the .ssh folder is supposed to be within the home directory? and if so, if it's not present, should i create the folder then put the config inside? And if it's not supposed to be there, where would i find it? Again, really new to this stuff, I've actually had a lot of fun figuring out Linux, but there are still a lot of things i do not know.

The config file didn't exist in my home directory. But adding these lines to /etc/ssh/ssh_config did solve the problem:

Host 192.168.*.*
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

DanMeadWasTaken · 2021-12-11T04:38:44Z

alright, now a new stupid question... honestly i figured out why i wasn't seeing the other file, it was because i was searching from within something else. so now i did find the etc/ssh/ssh_config vs whatever i was apparently changing before with the same name... now then, how do i use root to add the bit to it? as i have tried to just access root then cd into it, but it keeps tell me the directory doesn't exist

at this point, i'd love it if someone told me step by step... I've done similar stuff before, but those files were a bit easier to find and had a step-by-step guide on how to do it. So treat me like i'm five, just as long as it makes some sense to someone who knows next to nothing

EDIT: to explain the multiple files part, it turns out i was searching from home - which was giving me 2 files within the flatpack folder, which has the same exact text as the one within the /etc/ssh/ folder. but those two did nothing when changed, and I've not much of an idea of how to edit the /etc/ssh/ssh_config one, which seems to be the one i need to edit

DanMeadWasTaken · 2021-12-11T04:46:41Z

scratch that, a quick google search told me how to edit files as root, thankyou guys though! wish i'd known about gedit before... i wouldn't have had to manually count 123 lines of code that one time for ani-cli

You can right click and Edit as Root/Administrator. Enter your password, open the file, add the lines and save. Not Save As though just Save.

i know this is a bit innapropriate to waste space on, but you wouldn't be able to imagine the yell of happiness and the fist pump i just did into the air at finally getting this working.... i've tried other things for accessing my files on android, of which didn't work, so working on this for days... earlier found out that since my pc was plugged into the modem and not the router, they were on different networks... felt like an idiot... now to find out i was editing the wrong file for the past, like 6 or so hours.... god i am so happy to have this working

For your future reference the tilde (~) is a "shell expansion" that the shell/terminal will automatically replace with the home directory for the current user (ie. ~/foo will expand to /home/username/foo). It's pretty common for people to just use ~/something to refer to the home directory even when they're not talking about shell commands.

I am not a coder. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 and have installed the GSConnect Firefox extension on my laptop and the KDE Android app on my LG phone. I like GSConnect despite its shortcomings, one of which is the failure to Mount.
It would be great to have the Mount function so please do your best, chaps!

cleanerspam · 2024-06-27T07:07:16Z

One reason kdeconnect does not works is if sshfs is not installed . Does GSconnect not require sshfs ?

I have sshfs installed but still it does not work.

akvedi · 2024-07-11T16:24:21Z

There is a workaround for this untill the bug is fixed. When gsconnect mounts the sftp it adds a new folder in the /run/user/1000/gvfs with host ip and port as a folder name.

I wrote the below bash script to automatically find the host ip and port from the folder name and then open Nautilus with the correct path.

#!/bin/bash
# A script to open GSconnect sftp folder with correct path

# Define the path to the GVFS folder
gvfs_path="/run/user/1000/gvfs"

# Find the folder that matches the pattern "sftp:host=*,port=*"
folder=$(find "$gvfs_path" -type d -name "sftp:host=*,port=*" | head -n 1)

if [ -z "$folder" ]; then
  echo "No matching folder found."
  exit 1
fi

# Extract host and port from the folder name
regex="sftp:host=([^,]*),port=([0-9]*)"
if [[ $folder =~ $regex ]]; then
  host=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
  port=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
else
  echo "Failed to extract host and port from folder name."
  exit 1
fi

# Construct the sftp URL
sftp_url="sftp://$host:$port/storage/emulated/0"

echo "Opening $sftp_url in Nautilus..."

# Open the sftp URL in Nautilus
nautilus "$sftp_url" &

This script works with Nautilus but can be easily modified to work with other file managers.

I noticed that a new version of the KDE Connect app (v1.32.1) was released a few hours ago. It seems to include the latest versions of sshd (2.13.2) and Apache MINA (2.2.3), so it looks like this issue in GSConnect might now be fixable.

I just tried it now, but in my case it still shows the same permission error as before:

I can only view the files and folders on the phone after adding "/sdcard" or "/storage/emulated/0" after the phone's IP address in Nautilus's path bar, which is the same behavior as before:

For reference, my phone doesn't have an SD card, the "/sdcard" path suffix is just one of the ways to view its internal filesystem on my computer.

For reference, I'm running the latest stable version 57 of the GSConnect extension on Ubuntu 24.04 with all of the latest updates installed as of today. I've installed the KDE Connect version 1.32.0 (the latest version available on the Play Store and F-Droid, it was released only over a week ago) on my phone running Android 14.

@Beast-Viper Did the phone's filesystem immediately appear when you clicked on it in the left sidebar in Nautilus?
If so, what's your current computer and phone configuration, if you don't mind saying?

Beast-Viper · 2024-08-20T13:08:34Z

No, what you had said (the path) is how I got it working. Before it did not even mount or show in Nautilus. And the reason why you directly cannot the phone's storage is because the android app mounts the fs root of the phone i.e. / which is inaccessible without root access on the phone. Moreover KDE Connect for android does not use root in any form to be able to view the / directory. So we get this warning. Another workaround is to add the internal storage path as bookmarks in the sidebar for quick access. Sent from Proton Mail Android

I doubt a bookmark would work because the ip address in the mounted sftp is not static. It can sometimes change.

There's the old way which KDEConnect used to work, where there was an in-app menu to select the filesystem(s) to expose.

Now just manually append the directory either storage/emulated/0 or storage/0000-0000 which should work just fine.

If there's anything to fix, I think it's only to migrate away from ssh-rsa.
Not yet since it's just disabled by default.
Maybe in case Ubuntu or whatever removes it in future.

So, the Android-side implementation of the Filesystem Expose plugin AGAIN with the latest KDE Connect app release. (Probably to meet Google requirements, not simply because they felt like messing with us, but it's still a pain.)

They now no longer support mounting of the root /sdcard/ / '/storage/emulated/0/ directory AT ALL. /sdcard/Downloads/ is also off-limits. You have to choose one or more paths other than those, in order to set up an exposed filesystem.

Which means that not only will mounting / still not work, but now mounting /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0 will also no longer work, because they can't give external connections access to those paths.

The F-Droid version works for me.

muusik · 2024-10-07T19:40:47Z

The F-Droid version does not work for me. Workaround applied in .ssh/config, running GSConnect 57 and KDEConnect 1.32.5 on an Android 11 device. I mount the device, it shows up in Nautilus as an IPv4 address and I click on that:
"This location could not be displayed"

Here's the support log generated during above steps:

You can bookmark the address for easy access. Also remember to disable randomised ip for preventing the sftp address to change. Sent from Proton Mail Android
