Mi pad 5, but I don’t know if it supports wacom on linux.

Took a glance at it, not bad price range. I’ll be looking more into it. Thank you. ^^

Persen ,

But don’t expect everything to work.

@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I have 3 *BSD vms on proxmox, OpnSense and TrueNAS as well as a GhostBSD desktop for ‘play’. The TrueNAS started as a bare metal install and is now in it’d 3rd 4th server

I also have 2 Macs in the house…

So I guess *BSD is well represented here, looking forward to the read

KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.

someacnt_ ,

KDE Connect to my iPad just stopped working for me a few months ago. Do you know of any possible reasons?

suny , (edited )

could be something fucked with your network settings or ports. if you have 2.4 and 5ghz modes try connecting your ipad to the mode different from the one used by your pc, works for me (edit: on android phone) and I still have no idea why

someacnt_ , (edited )

Doesn’t seem to work… Whenever I send a file from my ipad,

  1. KDE Connect simply stops connecting correctly.
  2. GSConnect keeps connection, but the file always fail to send.
suny ,

ya it’s annoying as shit and lack of almost any documentation doesn’t really help 🫠

iSeth ,

KDEC has been horribly buggy on IOS in my experience. Never connecting or showing devices only occasionally.

nerdschleife ,

This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I’ll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

themoonisacheese ,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

nerdschleife ,

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.

themoonisacheese ,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

lord_ryvan ,

Nah it doesn’t. It works great on Debian KDE and my Android phone. It does not work on Mint Cinnamon and my Android phone.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Works on xubuntu. Though restarts are a common solution to no connection. That’s fine, I’d rather not spend extra juice to keep them Wi-Fi tethered.

WereCat ,

Is there a way for KDE connect to connect PC with phone if phone is on WiFi and PC on LAN going trough different router in the same network?

tuxed ,

Wont go inte networking, but assuming networking works between them you can manually specify an IP in the mobile app:

Add a device -> three dots in top right -> add devices by IP.

Bonus: This also works over tailscale and similar apps, making it so you can have an always on connection despite not being home.

Guenther_Amanita , in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

Either Localsend, if you’re only interested in that one function, or KDE Connect for the ultimate experience.

boatswain ,

I love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

" KdeConnect": Notifications, messages, clioboard sharing, link sharing, remote control of your pointing.device, keyboard, command inputs on computer… When it works it’s great, but it is hit-and-miss between distros and updates catching up.

lemann ,

Absolutely love the ability to share links from my android and have them open automagically on my linux HTPC. Also made a command shortcut for my laptop so I can unlock it from my android. Really versatile

Frozen_byte , in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

can recommend KDEConnect it’s working surprisingly robust.

rotopenguin ,
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

Does it support “sending a file larger than 2 gigs, without mysteriously deleting it at the end, but if you manage to sneak a hardlink to the file while it’s transferring then it’s okay”?

jaybone ,

lol that sounds annoying.

Syncthing

reallyzen ,
@reallyzen@lemmy.ml avatar

Never could get it to work with phones, and that from Arch, Mint, Asahi, Macos all sharing flawlessly between thembut no phone would reliably stay sync’ed.

SexualPolytope , (edited )
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

What phone are you using? I’ve used it my many Android devices from different manufacturers. Always worked flawlessly.

reallyzen ,
@reallyzen@lemmy.ml avatar

I have a 2-year old android 11 oppo A53, my colleague some small samsung on A10. Installs fine, sync a first time somewhat, then just don’t sync a thing.

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Interesting. I currently use it on a Samsung Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. In the past, I’ve used OnePlus, Redmi, and Realme devices. Always worked.

Maybe post it in their forum? They’re usually very helpful.

massive_bereavement ,

That could be a permissions issue that doesn't allow the app to run on background, Maybelline?

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Something like this happened on my sister’s laptop. She got a new laptop with Windows 11. She followed some website to set up Syncthing, but it wasn’t syncing. Turns out, there’s some kind of “trusted network” deal that needs to be figured out. (Don’t remember the exact term anymore.) Anyway, helped her fix it, and installed Debian Stable on it the next time I was visiting.

absGeekNZ ,
@absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz avatar

Oppo has very aggressive battery management.

While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…

But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.

exception4289 ,

Yeah, to reiterate what @SexualPolytope said, syncthing works flawlessly on any Android devices I have used.

Maybe there’s something you missed on your phone’s setup?

mortalic ,

There is an fdroid version named syncthing fork. Give that a go.

jacab , in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

KDE Connect

jacab ,

also syncthing, if you’d like to synchronize a directory to act like a shared folder and be identical on both devices

Vittelius , in Is there a Linux drawing tablet, or a tablet Linux can be installed on?

It’s not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

starlabs.systems/pages/starlite#

GravitySpoiled , in How to use mod key in GNOME Boxes?

Iirc there’s a setting

derbolle , in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

kde connect is my recommendation also

NaibofTabr , in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

Alternatively, Material Files (available in F-Droid) can easily create a local FTP server or connect to a NAS. It’s also a pretty good file manager app.

Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

There are some browser based solutions like sharedrop.io and file.pizza. I haven’t had the latter work for me though, not sure if it’s still functional. They work through WebRTC to discover local candidates for receiving files, the same way that video calling typically finds the best connection.

Security

ShareDrop uses a secure and encrypted peer-to-peer connection to transfer information about the file (its name and size) and file data itself. This means that this data is never transfered through any intermediate server but directly between the sender and recipient devices. To achieve this, ShareDrop uses a technology called WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), which is provided natively by browsers. You can read more about WebRTC security here.
