The server is useless for Arch Linux setup on a Rasberry Pi.
Could this have something to do with the need to use a headless Java environment?
Hi James
Thanks for trying it out .You need check if the Arch Linux has pre installed java environment, otherwise you might need to install java for Linux manually. It has not been tested on Arch Linux but,as far as any system that has Java will run the Remote Magic Mouse Server . Check this link out hope it helps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java

Hey Really want to try this app but am having the same problem as those above running arch linux with OpenJDK 7 i receive the same error as vb above ie:
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat com.whiztools.RemoteMagicMouseServer$3.run(RemoteMagicMouseServer.java:273)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)
using RemoteMagicMouseServer_1.0.0.1.jar, any help would be much appreciated.
Hi Richard
we have just uploaded new version it should probably work http://whiztools.org/download/linux/RemoteMagicMouseServer_1.0.0.2.jar
Running the server on Fedora on a Raspberry Pi seems to only load IPV6 sockets.
This is an issue when you only have the option in the client to use and IPV4 address and the only address given by the server is IPV4.
is there some way to force the server to use IPV4 on load? It seems IPV6 is built in on the Fedora ARM install and try as I might, I can’t stop it loading. :/
Hi
If the ip shown in the server window does not work , please check your wifi settings to see your computers wifi local network ip .
Sorry, doesn’t open under Ubuntu 13.4
If I try to open aften download I get the message:
The file ‘/home/horst/Downloads/RemoteMagicMouseServer_1.0.0.2.jar’ is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
Is there a sulution?
Hi open your terminal (shell window)
type the following
cd /home/horst/Downloads/ press enter button
and finally run the file by typing the command below
java -jar RemoteMagicMouseServer_1.0.0.2.jar
I just thought I’d let you folks know that this app works on my Bodhi Linux installation. Installing the server was a cinch too. The only complaint is that I find the scrolling is a bit “overactive”, even with the sensitivity turned down. It’s not a big deal though; it’s still quite useable.
This app will come is handy when I hook up my PC to the TV set. Thanks so much for making an Android app that actually works seamlessly with a Linux O/S PC… such a rare thing (too much emphasis on Windows/Mac related stuff).
