Wow quick response! blackhole, you may want to start $/opt/urserver/urserver from a terminal to see if it gives you any errors. If it starts up normally you can enter "monitor" to monitor what the server is doing. While you're monitoring try to connect with your android device. Maybe that gives you an indication as to what is causing your trouble. Personally I don't want a server like that to be running all the time, so I manually start and kill it whenever I want to. But I just tried to run urserver --daemon as a regular user and connected to it with my android device. Worked fine, just as intended. Peace4all: I like your new .install. Thank you for the quick reply and the package. Since on my machine urserver works as intended as a user (http://www.unifiedremote.com/guides/linux/command-line tells you to run it as a user) I don't know why it's not working for you. As I suggested blackhole to do: Try running the server from a terminal (not as a daemon) and have it monitor. That will hopefully give you a hint as to why it's not working. I would really expect some configuration error (like you were using a password or encryption for urserver, you used to start it with -cpath path/to/config and now you're starting it without) rather than something like missing groups or x root/non-root mode. But again, I can't reproduce your error so I can only guess here. Have the urserver monitor and try to investigate from there.

Thanks, both methods worked for me.

Is seems that in my case /opt/urserver/urserver --daemon is not working. urserver start as user without errors, but the android app cannot connect any more. Also web interface at http://<your_computer_address>:9510/web is not working: File Not Found /web I have cleaned cache on android app but result is the same. With systemd service file it was working fine.

I updated the package quickly, and removed the systemd file completely, I have suggested to run the server as a daemon and does not require root, start with: #/opt/urserver/urserver --daemon There are likely other ways to start.

@hybrid I removed my advice to use the systemd file, I tried to get this running in another way but had no luck, even the way suggested. As time is limited I will release this package and hopefully someone can fix this application to not run as root. I will leave the PKGBUILD as is, so as not to disrupt anyone using this package, but DON'T RECOMMEND running the service file as it may be a security risk as pointed out.

Thank you for the package. I was looking for ways to remote control my computer with my tablet and so far I like unified remote the most. But please don't encourage users to use your systemd urserver.service. I know you created that on request by another user here in the forums. But this way of starting it results in urserver running as root, which is not necessary and potentially dangerous in various ways. A much better place to have urserver automagically started would be a users ~/.xinitrc for example. Greetings
