For about 4-6 weeks, all of the functions of KDE-Connect no longer work on my smartphone, a OnePlus8Pro with LineageOS 20.0 under Wayland. Remote input via the OnePlus8Pro smartphone does not work under Wayland, but it does under X11. So I can't use the mouse pointer over the smartphone display, but the laser pointer works on Wayland. We use KDE-Connect to control video playback on a TV that is connected to the laptop via HDMI. 1. Start KDE Plasma under Wayland 2. Connect smartphone to PC via KDE-Connect. 3. In KDE-Connect, select "Remote input" in the menu (middle right) = The mouse cursor cannot be controlled with Wayland over it.

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! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 489058 ***
