I used GSConnect and F-droid until I upgraded to Jellyfish. Now the extension is not compatible with Jellyfish since it's not working on Firefox. I have tried Extension Manager, but it still doesn't allow me to install GSConnect.
Is there any alternative to connect Android devices to Ubuntu for this new LTS?
Thanks.
GSConnect does actually support GNOME 42 and Ubuntu 22.04, as you can see in the extension's webpage:
The issue of not being able to install the extension using Firefox exists because, since Ubuntu 21.10, Firefox is a snap application. The Firefox snap, however, is not configured correctly, so it doesn't let you install GNOME extensions.
There are several ways to overcome this problem:
The recommended way to install GSConnect in Ubuntu 22.04 is to use GNOME Extension Manager, which you can install by running in a terminal:
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager
Then you can open the Extension Manager, click on the Browse tab, search for "gsconnect" and install the extension.
If you had the extension already installed, try to remove it, log out and log back in, and search for it again.
GSConnect also exists in the default Ubuntu repositories, so you can install it by running the following apt command in a terminal:
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect
After installing it, you'll probably need the Extension Manager to enable and configure the extension.
Alternatively, you have the option to remove the Firefox snap package and replace it with the .deb one by following the instructions in Archisman Panigrahi's answer in How to install Firefox as a traditional deb package (without snap) in Ubuntu 22.04 or later versions?.
Finally, you also have the option of using a web browser other than Firefox and install GNOME Shell extensions with the usual procedure.
I found KDE connect to work well: need to be installed both on ubuntu (not within firefox) and on android.
