Qué gran descubrimiento #deskflow... (otro) fork de #barrier para usar un solo teclado y mouse en varias computadoras de la LAN.

Barrier está abandonado, pero era la alternativa en #Kalilinux, y usaba #inputleap en @archlinux, otro fork compatible.

#Deskflow es otro fork de barrier, también compatible, y proyecto activo... va muy bien de momento, recomendado.

Todo #opensource en #gnu #linux, como corresponde 😃

@geekland Buen dato, estaba usando el viejo #barrier en #kalilinux y el #inputleap en #arch, ahora probé conectar ambos hosts con #deskflow y va de maravilla... y parece que el proyecto está bastante activo.

Encendí las computadoras, y después de media hora peleando con #inputleap y #barrier, al grito de "se rompió y ya no anda", intentando actualizar, no estaba en los repos, descargando códigos desde git, compilando...

El problema: ayer estuve grabando clases del nuevo curso de #nftables de #juncotic, y me habían quedado algunas reglas sin borrar 😅

Sólo bastaba un:

$ sudo nft flush ruleset

La solución era más simple de lo que pensaba xD

#gnu #linux #learnlinux #softwarelibre #opensource

[UPDATE]

#Inputleap es fork de #Barrier, y mantiene compatibilidad con el protocolo.

Ahora uso #Inputleap en #Arch, y #barrier en #kali

#Linux y el #opensource / #softwarelibre nunca dejan de maravillarme 😃 🐧

Hacer años que uso #Barrier en #Linux para utilizar el mismo mouse y teclado de mi máquina de escritorio para controlar la laptop.

Me acabo de enterar que #Barrier no está siendo mantenido, y varios devs crearon un fork que se llama #inputleap

Bueno tenerlo en cuenta para cuando Barrier desaparezca de los repos de las distros 👇

En #Arch está en el repo, en #Kali todavía no, pero nada del otro mundo instalar el .deb (creo xD)

@nemo Unfortunately, #InputLeap has dropped official support for 32-bit platforms and talking to #Barrier or #Synergy. #DeskFlow is an alternative that adds support for newer technologies like Wayland while maintaining compatibility with legacy Barrier and Synergy clients so you can still interact with older hardware.

And if your hardware is *really* old, you may be interested in #minput_hop : https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop 😌

Discover Input Leap, the innovative software that allows users to control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse! 🖱️💻 Say goodbye to KVM switches and enjoy seamless switching by moving your mouse to the screen edge! 🌟 Perfect for Windows, macOS, Linux, and more! Check it out here: Input Leap #InputLeap #TechInnovation #OpenSource #newz

https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

for anyone that's unaware: seems like the #KVMswitch software community has finally settled on #Deskflow as the successor to #synergy and #inputleap and #barrier?

complete with, at a surface level, what looks like a protocol spec others can write software to

not super deep into it but this looks like a good and useful thing if you're sharing mouse and keyboard between systems https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow

Spoke too soon. #InputLeap worked until it didn’t. At first the client was in an endless “starting” state, removed the SSL certificates and it worked again. Then yesterday the client was again “starting” enldlessly and I found out that openssl connections were timing out (but pings to the server were working). Didn’t manage to get past that. Now the server is endlessly “starting” as well.
Documentation doesn’t help and I don’t know how to proceed. ☹️

The nicest thing so far about (finally) migrating to Fedora 40 is that #InputLeap now works. 🙌

Tools to consider that could deserve your attention series.

In principle, it was #Synergy. That was THE tool to share a keyboard and mouse among more computers and screens. Then it became proprietary, and #Barrier was forked from the latest FOSS version of Synergy. Now, #inputleap forked again and shall go forward.

After a six-month hiatus, I finally managed to bring out something I wasn't sure was possible: a kinda workable release of #minput_hop (a play on Input Leap, if you didn't notice).

This will let you use a #Windows95 / #Windows3 PC as a client for your #Synergy / #Barrier / #InputLeap server. In theory. I only really tested with Barrier and a VM so far, so maybe it's totally broken!

But I figured it I didn't cut a release this weekend, it wouldn't happen for long. 😌

O_O #Fedora 39 has verything in place so that #InputLeap / #Barrier (yes, or #Synergy) can work again! This has not worked for me for SO LONG and it is so good to be able to use my laptop from the shared keyboard+mouse on my PC :-D

I'm running Barrier on Windows (some random installer) + InputLeap (from fedora packages). And it ... WORKS. It just works! I'm there are some kinks to work out, but so far I can totally work with this!

edit: I learned about this here: https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2023/11/29/fedora-workstation-39-and-beyond/

J'ai lu pas mal de tickets GitHub pour comprendre que #barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier) avait bougé vers #inputleap (https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap) avec le support #wayland. Je teste...

@linear Oh shoot, the mouse driver for the VM I was using hides the pointer when it leaves the screen. When I disable mouse integration, the pointer shows up & it works fine! I even realized this earlier but I forgot!

Anyway the protocol needs to be adjusted for w/e fork (& I gotta move all my stuff to Input-Leap at some point, I guess) & keys need to be implemented which seems like more of a hassle than I planned but the basics seem to be working.

@royal @thelinuxEXP #InputLeap just merged a big change https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap/pull/1594 enabling basic support on Wayland with custom builds. Very exciting after so long with little news!
