Could not create virtual pointer on KDE Plasma 5.27.2 #234

Closed Calebe94 closed 1 year ago

Calebe94 commented 1 year ago

Every time I run the command warpd --hint the following error is shown:

Could not create virtual pointer (virtual pointer unsupported?)

How can I solve this issue?

System Info:

OS: Debian 12 (Bookworm - testing)
Kernel: 6.1.0-7-amd64 (64-bit)
DE: KDE 5.27.2 (Wayland)

Unfortunately KDE is unsupported since it doesn't implemented the requisite protocols. The wayland situation is a bit of a mess right now. You might want to keep an eye on keyd, which will eventually add support for something like warpd's hint mode using lower level input primitives. Alternatively you can use X, which should work as is.

I was using warpd on XFCE and it was working great. I was afraid that the error was because KDE uses Wayland. Thanks for your response and I'll keep and eye on keyd.
