I loved these gestures on my old laptop, but I have a new laptop now and I'm struggling with getting it to work. Not sure if I installed it properly.

1. Install touchegg sudo add-apt-repository ppa:touchegg/stable sudo apt install touchegg sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager

2. I cloned this repo and copied the contents to the gnome shell extensions manager folder cp -r . ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/x11gestures@joseexposito.github.io

3. Installed gnome tweaks sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

4. Logged out and in. The touchegg gestures are working, i.e. swipe up or down with 3 fingers to open activities or go back to workspaces, swipe left or right to switch workspaces-- but the additional swipe gestures from this repo that I really liked don't work. I used 4 finger swipes for workspace management and 3 finger swipes for window management. My touchegg is running...

And the extension shows up on the extension manager. At first no error showed, but I tried disabling and re-enabling it and got the error shown below:

I have a feeling it may be my touchpad hardware. I am using an unconventional laptop (Framework 16), but I'd appreciate any guidance.

OK, if all gestures are working, that means that the problem is not with Touchégg, it must be somewhere else.

Could you click on "See Details" and copy and paste the output here, please?

This issue looks similar to https://github.com/JoseExposito/gnome-shell-extension-x11gestures/pull/60

But that was an user running this X11-only extension on Wayland. Just to double check, are you using the X11 session, right?

You can quickly check it in the terminal running:

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

On the Wayland session gestures work out of the box, so there is no need to install this extension.

I'd try to disable every other extension, reboot and try again. Sometimes there might be conflicts between extensions.

I actually was on Wayland but I switch to Xorg and I'm facing the same issue. 4-finger swipes to switch between workspaces and the activities menu is working, but 3 finger swipes to maximize/minimize windows are not. I also tried disabling all other extensions and rebooting.

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

@EliotKhachi I can't help solve this but could you tell me how you configure things so that 3 fingers does the window min/max?

[EliotKhachi]

I actually don't remember. I thought this repo offered that functionality but I'm honestly not sure.

I recently found another extension that works out of the box on Wayland, Ubuntu 24.04. Download the gnome shell extensions manager sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager Go to "Browse" and look for amarullz window gesture. also found here https://github.com/amarullz/windowgestures Install and restart your system.

I really like these settings:
