Description Vojtěch Erben 2023-08-13 17:50:16 UTC
SUMMARY
I'm using krfb 23.04.3 and kwin 5.27.7. When I press the "virtual desktop" button in kdecoonect widget on computer A, it opens the KRDC dialog on computer B, but the IP address pre-filled in the dialog is an address of the computer B (instead of the computer A), which cause the "server not found" error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Running 2 computers on Wayland connected via kdeconnect
2. Press the "virtual desktop" button in the kdeconnect widget on computer A
3. Error "server not found" occurred on computer B

OBSERVED RESULT
Error "server not found" occurred

EXPECTED RESULT
Computer B connects to the computer A and shows the remote screen

I discovered this bug in Plasma 6.1.5 (fedora 40) and Plasma 6.1.90 (6.2) (fedora 41) as well, KRDC is in version 24.08.0 in the 2 versions of fedora and to top it off, because of trying to create a virtual screen, in the monitor settings several virtual screens were created next to each other and it turns out that the mouse cursor disappears when you use it towards these screens!
