Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/362

I'm on Fedora 42 connecting to nixos and the lan-mouse pipe just seems to be breaking on my fedora machine after a few minutes of it working. here's the stderr and stdout from the lan-mouse daemon. Both machines are running hyprland.

the input-capture-portal doesn't seem to be the issue? just because I assume that would break it immediately.

No, the input-capture portal is not being used here.
Could you add what version of Hyprland you are using?

At the time I was on Fedora 42 and Hyprland 45.2 and now I'm on Fedora 43 and Hyprland 53.3, testing this rn.

Could you check the latest pre-release? The version you are using seems to be very old (a new release is coming soon!)
