As its not designed for Ubuntu and elementary OS, I have to overcome some limitation
Notification is Passive
If you send pair request from your phone, a notification will nicely appear in your top right side. But how do you accept it, clicking will make it disappear? (You can't even click on Ubuntu).Remote Touchpad doesnt work
Ubuntu 14.04 default repository is shipped with KDE Connect 0.5 while for touchpad you will need KDE Connect 0.7.1 which you can get from backport repository or you can download from. Keyboard also not yet working, because you need to have 0.7.3 version of KDE Connect.
So for now, the only way to pair your device is from desktop and accept it in your phone. In the future elementary's notification will support action button too, so you can accept it from desktop.
- update: I've upload KDE Connect 0.7.3, Ubuntu and elementaryOS user should now have all features
KDE Connect is not Started on Login
You have to manually add KDE Connect Indicator to you startup application which you can find in your System Setting.
I cannot share file from my file manager
for Pantheon Files, there should be a new menu which offer you to send file via KDE Connect.
- For Nautilus and Thunar you should create a Nautilus-actions (install
nautilus-actions) or Thunar-actions entry with "kdeconnect-send %f" as command Test it if you brave enough, file bug and take a look at the code here https://github.com/vikoadi/indicator-kdeconnect

tried on live us elementary OS and samsung s4 - haven't managed to get it work so far. When I request pairing from my PC nothing happens.
When trying to pair form the phone it works as in the guide - I get the "bubble" in the eOS , but as I can't accept using ubuntu indicators again pairing does not work.
I'd rather suggest creating script like that below.
#!/bin/bash
while [ $1 ]; do
kdeconnect-send $1
shift
done
Enjoy!
Does not work.
Send a request for pairing from the desktop computer. The phone displays a notification "Request for pairing". But, clicking on it has no buttons to Accept or Reject the request. There is only one button "Send pairing request".
I am not able to install indicator-kdeconnect package in debian jessie. whereas kdeconnect package is available in debian repo so i can easily get it by apt-get install kdeconnect. I can see package in ubuntu and how to install that ubuntu indicator-kdeconnect package to my debian? Does it have any compatibility issue ?
