It does not perform any gestures

[fignupafya]

It does not perform any actions. I don't know the issue and how to fix this. I would appreciate the helps. (I do not know what to say to describe the problem so ask for something and i will give info about what you will ask for)

If you don't mind, run in a terminal this command and attach its output:

$ touchegg --debug

If it exists with error "Another instance of Touchégg is already running", run killall touchegg (no sudo!!) and try again, please.

Make sure that you are on X11, Touchégg is a X11 only tool: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#does-touch%C3%A9gg-work-on-wayland

What distro are you using? And how did you installed Touchegg?

It looks like you need to enable the service: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#arch-linux-manjaro-and-derivatives

(The instructions are for Arch, but those 2 systemctl commands should solve your issue)

After doing these now I can see the gestures on debug mode but it still does not perform any tasks. And i installed Touchegg first with the .deb , later i downloaded the Touché form flathub. Distro: Kali Linux 2022.1

[JoseExposito]

Ok, at least that bit is working. Could you attach your config file placed at ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf, please? And also the output of touchegg --debug while performing a gesture, please.

Let's see if we manage to find what's going on. I have never tested on Kali Linux, but if I remember correctly it is Debian-based, so we shouldn't find any issues.

touchegg-debug-result.txt touchegg.conf.txt I just realized that pinching works and it is quite good. Swiping does not work unfortunately. By the way thanks a lot for your attention.

[JoseExposito]

OK, so, gestures are being detected, but they don't reach the 20% threshold required to execute their action. I imagine that in your recording you performed a long swipe (i.e., moved your fingers more than a few millimeters at this point:

Gesture begin detected    
        Gesture information:
                Fingers: 3
                Type: SWIPE
                Direction: UP
        Gesture performed on app: qterminal
        Action configured for this gesture
        Starting action
Gesture update detected (0.867541%)
Gesture update detected (1.18659%)
Gesture update detected (1.21559%)
Gesture update detected (1.24459%)
Gesture update detected (1.2736%)
Gesture update detected (1.33161%)
Gesture update detected (1.38961%)
Gesture end detected

This is probably because the size of your touchpad is unknown. Could you confirm it following this instructions? https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#daemon-configuration

Let me know if you need help following the instructions and I'll help you.
