I am using X11.

luisbocanegra commented 4 months ago

It requires the KWin script to be installed and enabled, install.sh installs both.

luisbocanegra commented 4 months ago

That change was done to reduce cpu usage, now kwin tells the cursor position to the widget through the D-Bus service.py instead of loading my own enough times per second for it to be smooth

archisman-panigrahi commented 4 months ago

I already ran ./install.sh (before getting this error). What else do I need to configure?

luisbocanegra commented 4 months ago

Enable the KWin script, if the eyes still do not move, enable debug, disable the script and enable it again and share the journalctl output pleae

luisbocanegra commented 4 months ago

Hi, just noticed I had a typo in the install directory, should appear in KWin script settings after pulling the latest change and running install.sh again :)

archisman-panigrahi commented 4 months ago

Now it is working!! Thank you

luisbocanegra commented 4 months ago

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes and if you notice too much CPU usage with the default 30 updates per second, if is too much I may consider the possibility of using a compiled plugin in addition to the KWin Script method, will have to learn some C++ first but I think is doable.

archisman-panigrahi commented 4 months ago

Sure, I will let you know. So far I don't find any significant increase with CPU use, but this computer has a relatively powerful CPU.
