gjs is the GNOME JavaScript interpreter that extensions are run in, so (although I don't see any signs of it in the logs) it sounds like the port is already in use by GSConnect itself.

Two possibilities:

1. Were you upgrading GSConnect? It could've just been a one-time conflict, where the new version was trying to start while the old one was still running. In which case, if it doesn't happen again next reboot it was probably a one-time thing. Never mind, you said it happened right after boot so upgrades aren't a likely culprit. Option 2 sounds most likely to me.

2. Is it possible GSConnect is installed in two places on your system? Sometimes, a user will have a system package installed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/, and then also install it to their $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory. If you do have GSConnect installed to /usr/share/ as a system package, and you don't need it because you're using it from $HOME/.local/share/, you can uninstall the system package with sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect which may help prevent future conflicts.

[ferdnyc]

Ignore my first thought, if it happened right after boot then it's not likely to be an upgrade issue. It's probably number 2.

[synapt1c0llapse]

It's just in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ , and there aren't any installations.
Tried to install by 2nd method, as a system package like sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect and after rebooting there is the same problem... Any conjectures?

[andyholmes]

I would conjecture that installing more clients will not solve your problem. Can you show the output of lsof -i UDP:1716 immediately after you get the error?

[reinhart1010]

Or can you check the output of sudo netcat -nutlp | grep 1716 on your system, in case you have sudo access?

[synapt1c0llapse]

rio@N76:~$ lsof -i UDP:1716
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
gjs     5108  rio   22u  IPv6  45345      0t0  UDP *:1716 

and

rio@N76:~$ sudo netcat -nutlp | grep 1716
netcat: option requires an argument -- 'p'
usage: nc [-46CDdFhklNnrStUuvZz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-M ttl]
	  [-m minttl] [-O length] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port]
	  [-q seconds] [-s sourceaddr] [-T keyword] [-V rtable] [-W recvlimit]
	  [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]]
	  [destination] [port]

;)

rio@N76:~$ sudo netcat -nutlp 1716 | grep 1716
netcat: Address already in use

[daniellandau]

The command should have been netstat, not netcat

[andyholmes]

It sounds like there are two versions of GSConnect installed. Can you check if there are two processes running?

I thought then it must be displayed in tray drop down menu (or how it titles right...)
How can I do it alternate way?
Or how to delete one of them, not both. Seems like the is the same daemon
Try to delete all the founded files in Nautilus, install with Gnome Extensions Manager, not connected but list of the hooked up devices are not clear... Wheare are place of their living?

[andyholmes]

The solution is to uninstall it from everywhere except the extensions website. If you installed it with Extension Manager, you should uninstall any distribution package.

Seems like the is the same daemon

GSConnect can only run one instance. The only way this can happen is if another copy of GSConnect is installed or another KDE Connect client is installed.
