RemoteDesktop: KDE connect doesn't work

[Quackdoc]

KDE connect uses the remotedesktop portal for mouse and keyboard input. It fails with the below output

kdeconnect.plugin.mousepad: Unable to handle remote input. RemoteDesktop portal not authenticated
kdeconnect.plugin.mousepad: authenticating "/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop/request/1_3353/kdeconnect3112798555"
kdeconnect.plugin.mousepad: configuring "/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop/request/1_3353/kdeconnect2341811113"

I cannot find out what is wrong.. so have you help solve the problem?

I was getting this as well until I forced the RemoteDesktop interface to use Luminous instead of Hyprland. now it gives me the slurp selector over my screen, but when I select a monitor nothing changes. no errors are thrown in kdeconnect when I try to move the mouse but nothing actually happens when I move the mouse or use the keyboard input.

I completely forgot about this issue until I just received this reply. I had done some preliminary investigation back when I reported the issue. I believe that the problem is that with Luminous, the video session is mandatory?

It has been a really long time since I checked, so I might be wrong. But I believe the issue is it tries to start a pipewire or GStream and that fails and when it fails the protocol times out.

Kdeconnect does not use the video part at all, so I believe it is related. The other possibility I considered was that instead of getting user to select and then start the protocol, the protocol should be started right away. It could be that it's timing out while it's waiting for the user to select a display.

Ok,, it works now, but there is some problems about remote... how to know that the remote need to control screen? and also problems about the keyboard..
