Bug Description

The kdeconnect package ships two desktop files, which appear to be duplicates: /etc/xdg/autostart/kdeconnect.desktop, and /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.desktop. They both run the kdeconnect daemon. Presumably only one is needed. In particular, it means that for a user to disable the daemon, they need to disable it in two places!

Thanks for reporting.

That does indeed sound strange, though looking at https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/kdeconnect/filelist I only find one of them. Could you please list which Ubuntu release and version of kdeconnect you are running? Either by running `apport-collect 1896408` or manually adding the version numbers. That makes it easier to track down where the second file might come from.

Just to confirm:

$ dlocate /etc/xdg/autostart/kdeconnectd.desktop
kdeconnect: /etc/xdg/autostart/kdeconnectd.desktop

And:

$ dpkg -L kdeconnect|grep autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/kdeconnectd.desktop

Is it possible that this file was not deleted when I upgraded from Bionic?

(I just double-checked, and the kdeconnectd.desktop file is indeed in the file list of the version of kdeconnect on Bionic.)

Might be on to something here. That would certainly explain why I couldn't find it.

With the added information I'm setting this back to new. :)
