Without initiating logid manually through the terminal none of my key press bindings work

none of my key press bindings function,
the cursor stops moving whenever a gesture button is held as expected but no action is taken.

The keystrokes are appearing as expected in libinput debug-events --show-keycodes but have no effect beyond that. eg holding 0xc3 and moving down results in:

-event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +14.700s  KEY_LEFTMETA (125) pressed
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +14.700s  KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) pressed
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +14.700s  KEY_LEFTMETA (125) released
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +14.700s  KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) released

as expected based on my config but not moving to the next virtual desktop as expected.

non keypress actions are working as expected such as togglesmartshift.

I'm not sure if this issue is related to #166 as there are similarities, however in my case logid functions perfectly if I launch it manually in the terminal with sudo logid & that issue appears to be resolved. When I run sudo logid:

logiops functions as expected

sudo logid -v outputs:

libinput debug-events --show-keycodes reveals all expected keypresses are occurring twice, e.g. holding 0xc3 and moving down results in:

-event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_LEFTMETA (125) pressed
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) pressed
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_LEFTMETA (125) released
event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) released
-event18  KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_LEFTMETA (125) pressed
event18  KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) pressed
event18  KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_LEFTMETA (125) released
event18  KEYBOARD_KEY            +434.568s KEY_PAGEDOWN (109) released

successfully moves to next virtual desktop as intended.

I'm still very new to Linux (only 4 days in) so I would greatly appreciate some help with this.

irrespective of whether lollipops is functioning properly the systemctl status is the same systemctl status logid.service outputs:

~about 40 times over

so `sudo systemctl enable --now logid` seems to have worked in launching logid on boot. I'm not sure if the `[WARN]`s about hidraw3 & hidraw4 are anything to worry about as my mouse is on hidraw2:255.

Double install issue

2023-10-29 @ 11:26 The problem seem to have been that I had 2 instances of logiops installed, one form trying apt install logiops and one from source. I removed both and reinstalled from scratch and it solved my problem.

Removing `apt` version

having removed the the apt get version I can still run logid and have it work as expected & it has removed the system service that was previously enabled in systemctl that couldn't use key press actions.

joeashton@pop-os:~$ sudo apt remove logiops

Removing source version

removing programs built form source with cmake is way less clean than I hoped hope.

rm: cannot remove '/usr/bin/logid': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/logid.service': No such file or directory

install from scratch

joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs$ git clone https://github.com/PixlOne/logiops.git
...
joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs$ cd logiops
joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs/logiops$ mkdir build
joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs/logiops$ cd build
joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs/logiops/build$ cmake ..

joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs/logiops/build$ sudo make install
...
joeashton@pop-os:~/Programs/logiops/build$ sudo systemctl enable --now logid
...

Test solution

directly after install and systemctl enable logid works as expected.
