Bug Description

On a default Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) desktop install, kdeconnect-app does not work at all. When running it from a terminal, it outputs:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/qml/main.qml:93 Cannot assign object of type "DevicesModel" to property of type "QAbstractItemModel*" as the former is neither the same as the latter nor a sub-class of it.

And then hangs.

This is fixed in upstream release v1.4.1, specifically upstream commit 58a400a.

Groovy and Hirsute are not affected.

Thanks Rik. I was going to prepare an SRU myself, but although locally cherry-picking this patch fixes this particular issue, after also working around bug 1888215, I still couldn't get it all working, so I left it for now. I got the impression some of the plugin panels were silently failing.

Got rid of my atk-bridge failed to load.

Still remains.

Confirmed in Xubuntu 20.04 as well.

Is this bug intended to be fixed in Focal or will we have to wait for the next LTS release?
