Gestures not working on Manjaro Gnome

[shawn1thompson]

Describe the bug

The only gesture that seems to work is when in Workspace switching mode, the two finger gesture to switch workspaces. Touchegg, Touche, and the Gnome extension are all installed. In Touche, most gestures say used by Gnome.

Expected behaviour

All Gnome gestures should work or should be able to configure gestures in Touche.

Actual behaviour

see above

Logs

If required, include logs of the bug:

$ journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
[x11gestures@joseexposito.github.io] Reconnecting to Touchégg daemon in 5 seconds
[x11gestures@joseexposito.github.io] Connecting to Touchégg daemon
[x11gestures@joseexposito.github.io] Error connecting to Touchégg daemon: Could not connect: Connection refused

Attach Touchégg configuration, placed at ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf, if you consider it relevant. I haven't changed; hence, it should be the default config.

  • Can you reproduce the issue after disabling the other extensions? I haven't tried.

Hi, it looks like the Touchégg daemon is not running. Have you enabled it? https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#arch-linux-manjaro-and-derivatives

[shawn1thompson]

Not explicitly. I would assume it should already be with the packages being preinstalled and configured in Manjaro. Maybe this is something they need to be aware of? How do I enable it?

[JoseExposito]

Is Touchégg preinstalled in Manjaro? I didn't know. If that's the case, I guess is an issue on their side.

When installing from AUR, you need to follow the instructions in the link: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#arch-linux-manjaro-and-derivatives

By default, systems services are not enabled on Arch/Manjaro.

Yeah, I didn't install it; so, I assume it was. I'll try to raise it on their side. That worked though. Thanks.

[JoseExposito]

Great!
