2 years ago Hello, I have been pondering this issue for the last couple of days. Sadly, I cannot reproduce the described behaviour on my end and I do not know where the cause of the issue may lay.
Out of curiosity, do you have any clean VM (the newest Ubuntu or something similar, for example; if brave, Arch even) lying around, where you could test what the behaviour will be
- on the same device (with the same keyboard, just different OS),
- maybe even on another device altogether (although you said in #36 that you have successfully installed and are running TouchCursor on other devices, correct?).
Furthemore, trying a different keyboard for each of these test scenarios as well would be ideal. I am more inclined to believe the problem is directly connected to your system and/or HW restrictions, but that is only a guess here. I definitely do not recognize this issue. I see these tests as a way to exclude some possible causes and hopefully get closer to the real problem here. But I understand I am sending you on a rabbit hunt. Decide for yourself if this is worth it.
@donniebreve Any ideas? I am at a loss here.
Sorry I could not be of more help so far. Hope we can solve this together.

When I hold space I just write a lot of spaces even though I should have succesfully installed it and
systemctl --user status touchcursor.serviceshows that it's running. Although checkingjournalctlseems to indicate that it is constantly starting and stopping. I previously opened the issue #36 but I had a lot of work so stopped examining it and it got closed due to inactivity.Outputs
Running
systemctl --user status touchcursor.serviceRunning
systemctl --user restart touchcursor.service; sleep 10; journalctl -e -n8000Ran the above command and cut out subsequent parts relating to touchcursor, marked gaps with a few blank lines.

My system setup
I've got a Lenovo laptop of version
Legion S7 15ACH6running Ubuntu 20.04. My kernel is5.11.0-40-genericwhich might not be the newest one and if it would be likely to fix it I can try running a more recent kernel (no ubuntu wifi drivers for my laptop so a bit cumbersome process to upgrade kernel having to reinstall the custom drivers).
