What happened?

I'm using a Ubuntu 22 machine as the server, and a Windows 11 machine as the client.

I disabled "Enable SSL" on both machines.

When I connect on the client, I get the messages NOTE: accepted client connection and NOTE: client "client-name" has connected on the server. And INFO: connection established, server status: active on the client. When I copy-paste something, I see
INFO: screen "client-name" grabbed clipboard 0 from "server-name"
INFO: screen "client-name" grabbed clipboard 1 from "server-name"
INFO: screen "client-name" updated clipboard 0
INFO: screen "client-name" updated clipboard 1

However, I cannot move my mouse pointer from one display to the other. Also the copy-paste does not work.

When I turn on the DEBUG2 logging, and when moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen, I see the following messages on the server

DEBUG2: writef(CALV)
DEBUG2: wrote 4 bytes
DEBUG2: msg from "client-name": CALV
DEBUG2: msg from "client-name": CNOP
DEBUG2: no-op from

I had a similar issue, it seems that given how unmaintained the project is, it does not work when using wayland, try again after switching to Xorg in the login screen and it should work as expected.
