Touchegg doesn't work on Kubuntu 22.04

[pourmand1376]

Describe the bug

I have installed and configured touchegg 2.0.14 and It simply doesn't do anything. It detects everything I do but I doesn't actually do anything (previously I got this working on Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro and I haven't had this error).

$ touchegg --debug

Hi!

How did you installed it? It looks like it is a problem with a mismatching libinput version, see: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg/issues/567

Installing from PPA should fix it.

Thanks. I installed via PPA and the problem is solved.
