Fedora 34 uses wayland and this one doesn't work on it

Hey there... Are you going to do something to fix this issue?

YusufMavzer commented 2 years ago

I'm not the one that implemented this but I can create a fix if you want

YusufMavzer commented 2 years ago

an update. We'll have to wait for this to be closed https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput/issues/331

Indeed, keep-presence uses pynput who is currently having issues as well with Wayland. Once they fix it, we should be fine!

Anyway, if someone finds a bugfix, please create a PR or tell me and I'll submit the changes.

This might not be ideal, since it requires sudo/root to move the mouse, but evemu-event does work. Example that I found on an ask ubuntu thread: sudo evemu-event /dev/input/event5 --type EV_REL --code REL_X --value 50 sudo evemu-event /dev/input/event5 --type EV_REL --code REL_Y --value 50 sudo evemu-event /dev/input/event5 --type EV_KEY --code BTN_RIGHT --value 1 sudo evemu-event /dev/input/event5 --type EV_KEY --code BTN_RIGHT --value 0

Added the X and Y move commands into the is_user_away: function and its up and going again.

I get the following error when running keep-presence with Wayland on Fedora 37.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from pynput.mouse import Controller as MouseController

ImportError: this platform is not supported: ('failed to acquire X connection: Can\'t connect to display ":0": b\'Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified\\n\'', DisplayConnectionError(':0', b'Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified\n'))

Stumbled across this while looking for a solution. Running the following solves the authorization issue: xhost si:localuser:<user-id>

Is this project dead? Still seeing this issue open from two year ago and having the same issue with it not working on Wayland.

@suncoastkid keep-presence uses the pynput library, we have to wait for pynput to fix the problem.
