(nutty) Unable to find devices on local network

[Bump]

Local devices on same network are not displayed. See screenshot.

[Siddhartha Das (bablu-boy)]

Can you please run nutty in debug mode and provide the output here for analysis.
Please run wired and wireless interfaces to see if the wireless one works.

[Bump (bump55)]

I've renamed the network interface but it's the same.
Wired interface:
nutty --debug

It happens the same with wired and wireless interfaces, with or without airplane mode on.

Looks like /sbin/ifconfig -a eth0 is not working. Can you provide the output of the following command:
/sbin/ifconfig -a

Also, run nutty in debug like below and attach the log from from the home directory here:
nutty --debug > ~/nutty.log

When Nutty is opened, run the interfaces tab and then the search for devices tab. Then close nutty and attach the nutty.log in this issue for me to take a look.

[Bump (bump55)]

Here are 2 new screenshots. There is no such interfaces tab.

[Siddhartha Das (bablu-boy)]

Thanks for your patience in debugging this. By Interfaces Tab I actually meant the Info Tab (my bad). Here are some next steps:

1- Is Nutty installed via snaps on your system. You can check this by running the command:
snap list
If nutty shows up in the command above, then that might be the issue (snap is not working for Nutty) and you can install via the PPA.

2- The debug log you attached does not contain enough information, may be you closed Nutty out too soon. Try the following steps:
nutty --debug > ~/nutty.log
when Nutty opens carry out the following actions:
a. In the Info tab: change the dropdown to a few different connections i.e. wireless, ethernet, etc.
b. In the Devices tab: change the dropdown to a few different connections
c. Close Nutty
d. Attach the debug.log back in this bug here.

I'm running plasma in case it has something to do.

[Siddhartha Das (bablu-boy)]

Nutty was developed for Gnome - not sure how it will work for Plasma. Although I thought the difference will only be in the look and feel. But seeing your logs it does not look like it is even printing enough debug - I have added a sample log of opening nutty in debug mode and doing some activities like a few clicks on the Info tab and the Devices tab.

I had some information on how to install from PPA here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nutty/+bug/1751577/comments/1

Alternatively you can build from source on GitHub with these instructions:

I see that this bug is pretty common for Gtk apps, but not sure what is causing the same:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1675364

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/warning-%2A%2A-at-spi-could-not-obtain-desktop-path-or-name-4175557137/

I would shortly make Nutty available as a Flatpak, hopefully you can make use of the same without issues. This issue does not occur on Elementary OS.
