• 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.

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.
