Popular Post ccoenen Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 Barrier is not developed any further at the moment. People who contributed to it now are flocking around input-leap. Waynergy was more like a workaround until libei was in better shape, I am not sure if this will continue as a project, now that there's a more defined way to do this kind of thing on wayland. So, my money is on input-leap. I'm running it on Fedora 39 on wayland right now. It's not perfect, but at least it's working again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Starset Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 @ccoenen: Thanks for the info. Has your experience with input-leap been through KDE or Gnome or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoenen Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I use the default gnome desktop on Fedora, I don't know if KDE is working right now, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Atkinson Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 On 1/2/2022 at 8:53 AM, Chillosophy said: Are you kidding me. Fine. Asking for Wayland support, preferably years ago. This is embarrasing. I totally agree. Saying your not doing it because only github users are asking for it and not licensed users is short sighted to say the least. Also many of those github user will be licensed users. You need to support Wayland. I'm watching several upcoming alternatives to Synergy, and I have no problem switching to them. I realise that input capture and emitting is no walk in the park on Wayland, but Synergy could be working with Wayland/Wayland compositor devs to get a standard way to do this.

ccoenen Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 @Rubin Starset another new one is "lan-mouse", but I have not tried it myself. https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse To me, this is interesting because it's a completely new kid on the block. But as of right now it is still very incomplete. KDE support seems to be fine (as seen on their readme under "OS Support") - maybe it's worth a try.

Rubin Starset Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 @ccoenen: thanks! I looked into lan-mouse a bit ago but shied away due to a lack of encryption and not being able to grab input from Windows. That second issue I can just resolving by switching where my mouse and keyboard are plugged into and deal with that until support for Windows shows up (there are plenty of times where my Linux laptop isn't sitting next to my Windows desktop, and yes I have a small USB switcher). The first issue, at the time of looking into lan-mouse, I just didn't have the available mental bandwidth to figure out an ssh tunnel between the two machine (and no, no one should trust their local home or work network for anything, look up zero trust). I'll put lan-mouse in the list and see about testing over the next week or two. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Starset Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) KDE is having a great Reddit AMA regarding the soon to be release Plasma 6. I asked about libei, and contributor mitsosseundscharf responded with: Quote I plan to spend some time for it for 6.1. I already implemented support 3 years ago for sending against an experimental libei that needs updating. Receiving input via ei needs implementing it from scratch.
