I observe the same using krfb 5.0 on Plasma 5. The only frame sent is the very first frame visible when krfb starts. No more updates are ever made. The mouse works as described in the report. Here is the stdout log in case this helps:
krfb
found plugin at "/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/krfb/krfb_framebuffer_x11.so"
Loaded plugin with name "x11"

exactly same problem here. kubuntu 16.04 plasma 5.5.5 kenrel 4.4.0-23-generic qt 5.5.1 *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Still not working as of 16.08 beta. Using: KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1) The xcb windowing system Bug still here, with latest git version 5.0 (commit 699d7f9a27f9adb3e9aad79c11d30d55002eb922), KDE Frameworks 5.29.0 Qt 5.7.1 I found a workaround, if you force krfb to use different screenshot taker plugin, it works. Change preferred frame buffer plugin from x11 to qt. For this you need to edit your ~/.config/krfbrc, add the following lines: $ nano ~/.config/krfbrc [FrameBuffer] preferredFrameBufferPlugin=qt (In reply to Alexey from comment #6) > Bug still here, with latest git version 5.0 (commit > 699d7f9a27f9adb3e9aad79c11d30d55002eb922), > KDE Frameworks 5.29.0 > Qt 5.7.1 > > I found a workaround, if you force krfb to use different screenshot taker > plugin, it works.

The workaround of Alexei worked fine for me. Thank you! Works fine, thanks a lot Alexey ! Git commit c0ceb8a83de5d5a2be0f842eafd84024bfeea6ed by Albert Astals Cid. Committed on 23/03/2017 at 23:20. Pushed by aacid into branch 'Applications/17.04'. Set default framebuffer plugin to "qt" instead of "x11" Make default "qt" framebuffer plugin instead of "x11". Workaround for bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356782 Not a proper fix, ideally "x11" plugin needs to be fixed.
