Did this update break KDE Connect for anyone else?

Immediate crash, cannot even open it. Worked fine on all previous versions. Always-on VPN is enabled.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service
org.kde.kdeconnect.BackgroundService: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.SocketException: setsockopt failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)

    H4M

    Same app, same behaviour, same logs, also when exploit protection compatibility mode is enabled. Just installed KDE Connect, so idk whether it was working before. Pixel 8a, 2024091700.

      H4M
      Works fine for me. Can't connect to PC without turning off "Block connections without VPN" though (which was always the case, and not because of this update in case anyone misunderstands).

      introvertgeek I can reproduce this, with the same GOS and DDG app versions but on a Pixel 8.

      However, it seems to not disconnect from the VPN if "Block connections without VPN" is enabled. The DDG app recommends leaving that disabled, but I don't know why they recommend that.

      When the DDG VPN is on, Vanadium shows "This site is not secure" when entering a URL. Pressing Continue doesn't load sites, however.

      Edit: could still be an app problem. I might test on stock PixelOS later.

        thanks for the new update!

        unfortunately it broke plexamp on pixel 8 (no google play installed). here is the log:

        i assume it is something on plexamp's side, if you tell me what i can raise an issue with the developers. thanks!

        fid02 I've tried to enable "Block connections without VPN" (I've had it set to off by default), but it doesn't make a difference, unfortunately. DDG VPN is fine on my Samsung work phone (Android 14, kernel 5.4.242-28575149 (build: 31. July))

        When the DDG VPN is on, Vanadium shows "This site is not secure" when entering a URL. Pressing Continue doesn't load sites, however.

        I'm seeing this too, but not before the latest update, as far as I remember...

        AlphaElwedritsch I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is there something I can do to check/troubleshoot or find more info about what could be causing this?

        only that it does not have any fundamental problems with this type of VPN. after the update

        introvertgeek I have the same issue after the latest OS update. I ended up disabling DDG until the issue is solved hopefully.

        ErnestThornhill I agree it certainly doesn't seem like a general issue with [all] VPNs in the latest GrapheneOS, but I'm also not entirely ruling out that the issue lies with GrapheneOS, and not DDG. So I'm posting to DDG as well.

        That said, I'm mostly concerned about the tracking protection the DDG browser/VPN provides, not "traditional VPN" per se. So I haven't tried any other VPN service on this GrapheneOS release. Blocking app trackers is my main concern, as I want to use this phone as my daily driver, and also need to use applications from Play.

        If that makes sense :)

          It is likely due to changes in the latest release. A new release will revert these changes. We unfortunately didn't receive reports of the issues during alpha/beta testing.

          Does anyone else have issues with 5G connectivity? I used to get 5G connectivity before, but even if I force NR-only, I either only see LTE or I get no connectivity.

          Just to add some experience:

          For me KDE Connect works well with KDE Connect 1.3.2 on GOS and Fedora Kinoite 40 (KDE Plasma 6.1.4, kde-connect-24.08).

          GrapheneOS

          Yes. Proton VPN, always on & kill-switch. Didn't notice any issues with the VPN tho, only with KDE Connect.
