Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/247

After a few seconds of smooth operation, an intempestive "Capture Input / Allow Remote Input Capture" popup appears on the remote host. The mouse becomes locked to the remote host, requiring permission to escape.

If I grant permission, switch back to the local machine, and then return to the remote host, the popup reappears, creating a frustrating loop.

I confirm this popup already appears at lan-mouse startup, along with "Remote Desktop / Allow Remote Interaction", and I allowed both of them at that time.

Configuration (both local and remote):

  • lan-mouse version: v0.10.0
  • Desktop Environment: Wayland / Gnome 47
  • OS: Up-to-date Arch Linux
  • Kernel: Linux 6.12.4-arch1-1

We put up a bounty on our project for this: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/issues/8032

Peter's (@whot) change in XDG Desktop Portal is almost done: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1186

There are 4 people (trying for the bounty) attempting to finish the work, but the remaining work has to be done in the window mangers, Mutter, KWin, etc.

Let's hope for some movement on this soon!

To make this work you need to (what we do in deskflow)

  1. Set the persist_mode to 2 (until revoked) when you call SelectDevices
  2. When you call Start Later the token you get back will be vaild until revoked
  3. Save the token in your settings.
  4. Next time you open the RemoteDesktop Portal during the SelectDevices call set the restore_token option to your storted token.
  5. Enjoy :D
