Additional information

Only happens on Wayland, not sure what causes it.

Solution is probably to improve the log message, set these to debug log level, or fix the underlying issue.

The underlying issue is lack of clipboard sharing between Linux with wayland and any other receiver machine. I've tested on Gentoo to MacOS and it gives the same error.

While starting DeskFlow on both machines, the languages are recognized correctly:

But the clipboard content isn't copied between the machines.
