Thanks! For the readme instruction, $ meant the following line is terminal input, which is pretty standard.
For your problem, I think you just need to reboot your computer and you're ready to go. Otherwise if it is still not working, maybe your touchpad doesn't support multi-touch? If it helps, can you tell me what touchpad driver you are using (e.g. Synaptic)
Hi and thank you for the quick response! I restarsted the computer and still have the operation not permitted issue.
Here is the touchpad driver I'm using on my laptop:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M510 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
That's weird, I'm also using Elantech driver (but in Ubuntu 16.04LTS). My guess is that it has something to do with a kernel in 17.04. I'm not sure if it will fix the issue, but it might be best to upgrade to 17.10, if you're okay with that?
Hello there,
I am having the similar issues.
When i run this command comfortable-swipe start
Failed to open /dev/input/event12 (Operation not permitted)
I am attaching my touchpad driver details too
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
I am using ubuntu 16.04 LTS .Also i have checked on the decsription page of my acer laptop that the trackpad supports "multitouch". Hence i request your help with this.
Confirming this bug since it affects multiple users. I think this problem lies with libinput, specifically when you run libinput-debug-events
in terminal.
Some things that can be of help, I saw a similar issue from another project (libinput-gestures). Please see if any of these solutions work:
sudo chmod 664 /dev/input/event*
then comfortable-swipe start
.
comfortable-swipe start
again without chmod
. Can you tell me if it's working again or not? If it doesn't, this might be caused by some external program changing the permissions upon reboot (e.g. WhatPulse).sudo comfortable-swipe start
, is it working? How about sudo libinput-debug-events
?libinput-list-devices
to find out which touchpad device number is. Then run libinput-debug-events --device /dev/input/event#
, replacing #
with the touchpad device number. In my case, it's /dev/input/event14
. Should look something like this:
$ libinput-debug-events --device /dev/input/event14
-event14 DEVICE_ADDED Asus TouchPad seat0 default group1 cap:pg size 70x50mm tap(dl off) left scroll-nat scroll-2fg-edge click-buttonareas-clickfinger dwt-on

Is it reading properly, or still permission denied?
Thanks for your quick Response.
I tried all the 3 points that you mentioned. So here i am posting the results of the points that you have mentioned
sudo chmod 664 /dev/input/event*
then comfortable-swipe start
it still says Failed to open /dev/input/event14 (Operation not permitted)
comfortable-swipe start
(without chmod ) its not working and gives the same messege Failed to open /dev/input/event14 (Operation not permitted)
2.Running sudo comfortable-swipe start
i get the same error message Failed to open /dev/input/event14 (Operation not permitted)

Still Getting the same error message.
Hi!
On my side, running sudo chmod 664 /dev/input/event*
still gives me the same Operation not permitted
error.
sudo comfortable-swipe start
still gives me the error.
When I type sudo libinput-debug-events
, the first message is the Operation not permitted
error, and this is the log when I swipe with three fingers:

In my case, the touchpad is event7 and this is my log when I specifically choose this device, no error at all:

I think I'm getting closer, because I don't see any dev/input/event11
in the list of devices!
Also, here is the output of my touchpad device:

@jbprat, based on your output, indeed the problem lies with comfortable swipe. I'm still trying to replicate it, so please wait for further updates.
EDIT: since you see GESTURE_SWIPE_XXX, comfortable swipe should work even with the error message. However, I cannot do anything about it since I (currently) have no way to know which event the touchpad is installed. I may provide a PR in the future.
@suposh, Does something similar to GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE
appear during libinput-debug-events
? If it doesn't appear, unfortunately that means your touchpad doesn't support 3-finger gestures.
I'll try to fix the bug with the input having an install script with the removed $
. I will reference this in the next PR, but I will keep this issue open as it is not yet fully solved.
Hello and thank you for your work! I cannot wait to test it.
I am using Ubuntu 17.04 and followed your readme, when coming to the instruction to update permission, I had to modify it a beat to get it working by removing the
$
in front of(
. I also tried adding$USER
to all theinput
successfully.Problem is I still have an
operation not permitted
error when trying tostart
comfortable-swipe.Can you help me through it?
