Krfb should also work if you have version 24.05.1 or newer (https://invent.kde.org/network/krfb/-/commit/01739fbf313d54abb1afb12367e7772b39a4dbfc), and the patch for it is pretty much the same as what KDE Connect got for 24.02.0 so if KDE Connect works already then Krfb should be fine once you update, although of course it'll still ask the first time after you update. Also keep in mind that for persistence to work correctly you'll want to make sure it's started the same way every time, in the past I've noticed that opening it using Kickoff/KRunner, via autostart or manually running it in a terminal window can result in the portal thinking it's a different app and rejecting persistence. The main changes required are that the app needs to pass two new options to the SelectDevices call, which are `persist_mode` and `restore_token`, and if the user does allow persistence then the token will be sent by the portal as a response to the Start call, which the app will then need to remember and use next time it calls SelectDevices. The details are in the portal documentation: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
