Ubuntu 24.04 is not supported

[insidesecurity-yhojann-aguilera]

In the supported list says Ubuntu 24.04, but it does not work:

$ sudo apt install wtype
$ wtype foo -d 120 bar
Compositor does not support the virtual keyboard protocol

I think you are referring to the repology list. It just means the package is available for distribution in Ubuntu.

I imagine it won't work on Ubuntu until GNOME's Mutter compositor supports the Wayland virtual keyboard protocol.

Found an issue about it if you wanna pester them to adopt it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1922
