These don't work: sudo update-rc.d kdeconnectd disable sudo systemctl disable kdeconnectd.service

There is no script for it in /etc/init.d/ and the /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kdeconnect.service file only has Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kdeconnectd set

sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and bum don't list kdeconnect.

/etc/xdg/autostart/kdeconnectd.desktop looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kdeconnectd
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
X-KDE-autostart-phase=0
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
OnlyShowIn=KDE;GNOME;Unity;XFCE;
NoDisplay=true

(Kdeconnectd has port 1716 open all the time when running.) It's not just starting automatically when booting but also a while after ending the process without me opening it.

I'm running Debian 9/KDE.

Update: it may be related to a problem with the Dolphin file-explorer: when running dolphin and just navigating around or waiting after a while I'm getting this output which I reported here:

org.kde.kcoreaddons: Error loading plugin "akregatorplugin" "The shared library was not found." 
Plugin search paths are ("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins", "/usr/bin")

    I described it for all of us [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/384306/why-does-kdeconnect-listen-on-port-1716-tcp-all-the-time-how-to-close-the-port/509476#509476) – schweik Mar 29 '19 at 17:36
  • Setting `X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false` worked for me. I also have `X-KDE-autostart-phase=1` instead of 0. Beside that the settings are identical (excluding the Name list at the end of file). I am running GNOME though, so at least there it seems to work as intended KDE Autostart Phases: https://github.com/KDE/kdelibs/blob/1c5b25966136b6099665477616fb4d38a98fd7ef/kinit/README.autostart#L41 From that perhaps phase > 2 could help. From what it say it looks `Hidden = true` should disable. Can not see you have that in the desktop file. – ibuprofen Mar 03 '21 at 14:50

    Modifying `X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true` parameter won't help in KDE. You can rename `/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.desktop` launcher instead. Check my answer [here](https://askubuntu.com/q/829628#1389759). – whtyger Jan 28 '22 at 13:05

For those who don't need to use KDE Connect even occasionally: you can just uninstall it. At least on my Kubuntu 22.04 setup, kdeconnect is an optional package

I have had the same problem, I have solved it by deleting two files: "/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.kdeconnect.service" and "/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.desktop". I don't know if it's the proper way to fix it, but it worked for me.

I was facing the same issue and after being at a loss for several minutes as to where was the setting to disable kde connect from autostarting I finally found it.

I had noticed that after unlocking the graphical component and going to the application bar and clicking the button to add a graphical component kde connect had a 1 indicating one such component was enabled. Though I had no idea how to disable it as clicking on its icon brung up the option to remove the miniature box instead.

So here's how I did it: right click the miniature box and open its settings. In the miniature box settings window scroll down to the additional component section until you reach kde connect in the list. Untick the checkbox to disable it, and apply the new settings.

Hope this helps.
