• Get the stack trace:

  • If have coredumpctl, you can gather the stack trace after a crash using coredumpctl gdb wayvnc and then run bt full to obtain the stack trace.
  • Otherwise, you can either locate the core file and load it into gdb or run wayvnc in gdb like so:
  • gdb --args wayvnc -Ltrace
  • If the lines mentioning wayvnc, neatvnc or aml have ??, please compile wayvnc and those other projects from source with debug symbols and try again.

• Describe how to reproduce the problem

  • on archlinux
  • export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
  • wayvnc
  • use TightVNC viewer connect to archlinux on windows 11
  • first can connected and unlock the screen. close TightVNC viewer
  • reconnect, then the keyborad can not input any thing on lock screen

@vaxerski Any thoughts on this? Does Hyprland maybe block virtual inputs when the screen is locked?

[vaxerski]

no thoughts on this. I am focusing on other things. Feel free to make a mr

Entirely possible events are not being captured.

[vaxerski]

skimmed over the code, doesn't seem to have anything of note to block virtual keyboards on lockscreens. Might be something I'm missing though, as usual.

@ystyle, is this still a problem?

[ystyle]

It's OK now
