Ok the officials arch repos installed lan-mouse 0.8 something... (even if I updated the whole system 10 min prior to installing the program). Now that problem doesn't persist anymore but I can't manage to make it work anyway.

Maybe this gives more insight on the issue

@feschber commented on GitHub (Jul 30, 2024):

Yes, It was just updated today. You can use 0.9.1 from lan-mouse-bin / lan-mouse-git on the AUR until it lands in the official repos.

As for "client not responding, releasing pointer": Make sure to configure both sides i.e. add + activate Device A on device B and vice versa.

This behaviour is confusing and I'm planning to change it (#164)

  1. no thats just a warning (and maybe it should not be a warning)

Actually, it seems like 0.9.1 already landed in the repos. This should include the fix for plasma 6.1

I'm not quite sure what you mean? So it still does not work?
Just to be sure: Could you run killall lan-mouse and run it again on both devices to make sure the new version is actually running?

You could manually configure the ips with a config like this:

hostname = "thinkpad"
ips = ["192.168.1.127", "192.168.1.115"]
