Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the linked log and the CachyOS package configuration for the default install, then reproduce the KDE Connect-to-Dolphin filesystem access described in the steps. Done means the required sshfs dependency is included by default and the phone directory opens without the error.

Kernel

Description

When attempting to access the filesystem of my Android phone, connected via KDE Connect, via Dolphin, it gives a "Failed to start sshfs" error.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Connect your Android phone and PC to each other using KDE Connect
  2. Make sure your phone has given filesystem permissions to the app
  3. Open Dolphin, and click on your phone, which will be labelled by its name (for example, mine is Galaxy S24 FE) and will have a KDE Connect icon

Expected Behavior

Opening a directory of the phone's files.

Actual Behavior

A red error message at the top of Dolphin, saying "Failed to start sshfs".

Additional Context

This can be resolved by simply installing sshfs. However, I feel like this package not being included by default is a strange anomaly that impedes on app function.
