I thought so. Ubuntu 16 is the supported version. For sure I won't have time in the recent weeks and months to add Ubuntu 18 support due to my other activities. Please use LoWe with Ubuntu 16 up until then. Thank you for your understanding.

5 years ago @kpocza This is a bummer. Is the support for Ubuntu 18 requires significant changes to the codebase? If not, I might be able to give it a try.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the awesome project! :-)

5 years ago @suyashmahar Last year I started to deal with Ubuntu 18 support. If I remember correctly some kind of handle inheritance should be introduced between processes and the device handling needs some tricks due to changes in X, but no sure. Anyway, I've pushed the changes I made last year to branch w10a18uu18. Feel free to give a try to implement Ubuntu 18 support.

5 years ago @priyaranjankumar According to the log you provided the errno of exec is 2. Are you correctly specifying the X executable? Are all required packages installed? Please check the instructions again.
I run into the following error on starting loweagent using
./loweagent -e XThe x log file output is:
I followed the steps for running x programs. Thanks.
