Android 11 FP3 F-droid KDE Connect 1.19.1 The mouse functionality works OK. Compose send doesn't sent anything, neither the Remote presentation next or previous slide buttons(laser works) Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.18.12-hardened1-1-hardened (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 580 Series PD: BUG https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444583 is a candidate for closing or a duplicate of this one. On Plasma remote input should work properly (both keyboard and mouse) with Plasma 5.27 and KDE Connect 23.04 once both are released, which is bug 429173. Sway (and wlroots based stuff in general) however currently lacks support for the XDG remote desktop portal (see https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/2), which is what KDE Connect 23.04 will use for remote input functionality, so I think that would now be an upstream issue rather than a KDE Connect issue. Is this specific issue fixed now? There are still some other bugs about remote input not working in general: - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470839 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471258 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471959 As I said back in comment 2 this should have been fixed since Plasma 5.27 and KDE Connect 23.04, and it's certainly been working for me since then, except for the permissions dialog needing to be manually accepted once on every boot: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480235 The problem with Sway and the other wlroots compositors remain since they still don't appear to have implemented the remote desktop portal. Do you have a screenshot of how this permission dialog should look like? I'm pretty sure that it didn't show up at all for me. Created attachment 169569 [details]
Modal window asking for permissions
This is the windows asking for permission to control KDE Plasma input from a KDE connect device (in spanish)
I got it now. Could it be that it just doesn't work the first time after setup? I've rebooted both the Android device and the PC and then it showed this window. |
