I encountered this yesterday on 11.3.

I just updated to Big Sur 11.4, same issue.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please double-check if you have the Disable clipboard transfer checkbox enabled in the Host Settings -> Other tab? In addition, could you please let me know if the issue occurs if you connect from Viewer for Windows or Linux and try reproducing it?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi.
Linux viewer 1.0.8.q beta 8 onto Xubuntu 20.04LTS.
Very limited functionality. Only connect to remote PC. All the other functions which works in Win version is missing. I hope will be included soon especially the remote agent configurator.
It hangs and close itself and the remote connection windows very often without any notice. I would say I have to restart in every 10-15 minutes. if you let me know where is the log file then I can attach it to do further investigation.
Thanks for the long waited Linux version.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, unfortunately, for now, Viewer for Linux/Mac is only available in the Beta version and, therefore, has somewhat limited functionality. You can find the full list of currently supported features on this page, in the very first message. More features that are already available in Viewer for Windows will be added in future updates as well.

As for the frequent crashes of Viewer - could you please try removing (or temporarily moving to another directory) the following files and see if this helps to resolve the issue?
1. libxcb*
2. libxkbcommon*

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi.
There are many libxcb* and libxkbcommon* files exist in different folders used by different applications. Which ones should I delete/move from the 353 pcs of libxcb*?
Would you be more specific?

Thank you

Hello,

I just started testing 2 days ago with the Mac version. Which looked very good but today the beta expired. Do you have any news when the new Beta will be ready?

Regards,

Roger

OK, so it's June 1st, and the Beta has expired, I can no longer use it (which isn't great), where do I go from here?

Does that mean I can't use it anymore?

Certainly don't seem to be able to apply the license key I have.

Thanks
