While the original bug report is for Manjaro, it happens also on e.g. Ubuntu or Fedora.

Thank you for the bug report! There are several open issues regarding the remote input function not working from a mobile device to a pc running Wayland.

I suspect that the cause for these is the same, namely that the permissions dialog is not shown. On Wayland, explicit permission is required to allow such security-relevant features to work.

If you still experience trouble using remote input in this setup, please try manually restarting kdeconnectd by running "kdeconnectd --replace" in a terminal, then use the remote input function again and see if you get a permissions popup now.

I'm marking all the open bugs regarding this as a duplicate of the newest one, as it has the clearest technical reasoning. If you think that you are affected by a different underlying issue, please comment on this bug again. Thanks!
