X11 backend: unsupported session type 'wayland'

trungus opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Hi guys,

I have this error when I trying to use RemoteTouch in wayland session

2021/10/08 21:10:37 unsupported platform:
X11 backend: unsupported session type 'wayland'
RemoteDesktop portal backend: keyboard or pointer source type not supported
Windows backend: disabled

I am using Nitrux OS 1.6.1 with wayland.

Some ideas?

On Wayland the Remote Desktop Portal is used to control keyboard and mouse.

RemoteDesktop portal backend: keyboard or pointer source type not supported

The error message means that AvailableDeviceTypes does not have the bits for KEYBOARD or POINTER set.

Edit: It's not supported by KDE.

Hi @Unrud

Thank you for your answer, there is any hack I can do to get it work ?

Remote Touchad is awesome, I use it for almost a year, get it working with wayland+kde will be great

Best Regards

I don't think so. You could switch from Wayland to X11.
