Always when I switch to another desktop with three finger swiping on the mousepad, I get the following dialog:
image

When I accept it, it comes again later. Sometimes keyboard inputs are broken after it. Sometimes it freezes the OS. But mostly it’s just annoying. So is there a way to disable this dialog?
I mean - I can just not click it. Also: using keyboard or mouse to switch desktop works fine without this message.

No solution to the admittedly annoying problem, just a description of how I deal with it. I get this in conjunction with keepassxc and autotype.

The system probably doesn’t freeze, you may just have to wait a bit longer. It takes 30-40 seconds for the system to respond after I click “Ok”. Then, as with you, only fragments are filled in. Then I try again and the dialogue appears again. Only now the dialogue buttons are in German. There is no longer a freeze, but the required keystrokes appear again in fragments. After the 3rd attempt, the dialogue box no longer appears and Autotype works normally.

You probably have krfb installed for KDEConnect or Desktop Sharing. As far as I know, this behavior is due to a bug in xdg-desktop-portal-kde, and this should be fixed in version 6.1.1 of xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

Try a simple garuda-update to update to version 6.1.1-1.

Even with your said version

pacman -Qs xdg-desktop-portal-kde
local/xdg-desktop-portal-kde 6.1.1-1 (plasma)
A backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal using Qt/KF5

it’s still not fixed. I still get the box and after klicking it, all keybaord buttons are in some way broken - like tapping e opens an editor for some weird reason.

You didn’t answer the question whether you have krfb, krdc or something similar installed. So I’m going to get my crystal ball out: If you have KDEConnect, desktop sharing applications or keepassxc installed that you don’t need, then remove them and the dialog should disappear.

Try using the same password in krfb under “Enable Unattended Access” as for the normal connection.

Try starting with an empty session if you’ve been starting with a saved session by default in plasma.

This is a security feature that is probably not implemented correctly on wayland:

You can also try switching to x11 and check whether these issues occur there too.

If none of that helps, then you’ll have to wait until someone jumps in here with another idea.

Checking with pacman -Qs, I have none of these two packages, but I do have KDEConnect and need it. But I don’t need any desktop sharing feature it might have. If there is one, do you know if I can disable it?

7

Sharing is sharing, that’s the point of KDEconnect.

Have you tried it?

Oddly enough I’ve experienced the issue with the “remote control requested” dialog box but with using Steam Input and mapping keyboard keys to the gamepad while on a Wayland session.
Switching to X11 does fix that issue, although I’ve yet to find any other workaround.

9

As far as I know, this has to do with the security architecture of wayland. I personally can’t test it because I don’t have any of these applications installed (and don’t have the time :smiling_face:), but have you played around with this?

I had the same problem “remote control requested” when switching between plasma desktops using three fingers on my trackpad. Curiously it does not happen if I swipe with four fingers.

If I swipe with 4 fingers and release all fingers simultaneously it will flick to the left- or right-most desktop, whereas if I successively release my fingers in a somewhat slower succession it will stay on the desktop in view.

Turns out not related to keepassxc etc.

Am happy to have figured this out but also find it curious, where can I modify behaviour depending on 3 or 4 finger gestures? (Acer Swift 3)
