It seems like you have started this some other way? Please type libinput-gestures-setup autostop
, then reboot, then paste the output of libinput-gestures-setup status
.
Really appreciate the help here bulletmark, I'm a bit baffled. autostop and reboots
$ libinput-gestures-setup status
libinput-gestures is installed.
libinput-gestures is set up as a user service.
libinput-gestures is not currently running.
libinput-gestures is not set to autostart.
libinput-gestures is using default configuration file.
Double checked /tmp/libinput-gestures* with no pid or lock files, nothing in ps either. Raw mode of libinput-gestures is nice and noisey now and debug mode is registering some pinches and swipes
So you are saying it is now working fine?
No, I still can't run the service. Every issue of 'start' returns a simply failure of "libinput-gestures failed to start as a user service."
Okay so after some combination of commands, it is running and is working. However when the service is not running and confirmed by a status command, the start command returns a failed message every time on my system. Maybe this has something to do with lock and pid files in /tmp not being cleared after a raw or debug mode?
Either way, it's working now! Thank you kindly for the assistance!
Please type libinput-gestures-setup stop autostop desktop start
and tell me if that runs. Then try libinput-gestures-setup stop autostop service start
and see what it says.
I have the same issue.

Maybe the issue is that my user didn't belong to the group "input", as seen in the output above
@margual56 edit: sorry, thought this was a different issue.
Note that the OP here eventually decided that he didn't have a problem so we got nowhere with this issue. It has been closed and there is no useful info here. @margual56 so I still think you should raise a new issue if you really think you have a problem.
I had the same issue. I installed libinput-tools (not installed by default on opensuse) And it worked fine ;-)
Before creating a new issue, please follow each step in the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the main README.
Some additional details
Describe the issue Unable to use the tool as the application never runs. I've gone through set up and troubleshooting with a complete uninstall twice (including subsequent reboots) but having no luck. Fails to run as a desktop or a system service. What am I missing here?
Great project, really excited to use it, but am just having no luck
