I just saw the error when GSConnect is activated from the Gnome menu. It seems like the plugin doesn't start, even though the indicator says it is running.

@Meliowant It's possible you don't have the openssl command installed, since that's the point where GSConnect is attempting to run it in order to create its encryption certificates.

Does openssl --version in a terminal window return a version number, or "Command not found"?

(If "command not found", then sudo apt install openssl should be all you need to get GSConnect working.)
