Doesn't work on Fedora 35 Gnome 41.1 + X11 about gnome-gesture-improvements

[eypsume]

Wow, Gesture works fine, I can get hint from your mention as gsettings get org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions should be false,
So I set false that by gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions false
and then I do $ gnome-extensions enable gestureImprovements@gestures.
Now extension works pretty, Thanks a lot for your all.

[harshadgavali]

Can you share output of following steps?

1. Disable extension
2. Open two terminals and run following commands
   1. journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
   2. journalctl --user -f -o cat -u gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service
3. Add some empty lines in both terminals by pressing enter (to seperate initial output of above commands)
4. Enable extension
5. Perform any gesture
6. Stop commands, and share output of commands above two commands

[eypsume]

Well, here are that logs:

@eypsume
In latest version of extension, output of gnome-shell should contain debug statement like

>  journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
[DEBUG]:: in function subscribe at gestures/src/utils/dbus.js:105:13
	"starting dbus service 'gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service' via spawn"

Are you sure you have installed latest version from extensions website?

• Also output of both commands doesn't say any failures, how did you know about extension failure?
  Do you mean there's no failures, but gestures don't work?
• What's failure/error message?
• What's output of libinput debug-events when performing swipe gesture ?
  It should be like this when doing 3 finger swipe gesture.

There is nothing from 'journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell' after get started.
First I run the command and then I do the second journalctl --user -f -o cat -u gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service.
And then, I run the daemon service by systemctl --user start gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service.
At this time, the second command output 'Started gesture improvements Gesture Daemon.'
And I enable the extension by gnome-extensions enable gestureImprovements@gestures.
Now I try any touch gestures and then the second command output :
,,
libinput error: event18 - PNP0C50:00 04F3:30AA Touchpad: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 34ms, your system is too slow

libinput error: event5 - CATEX TECH. 87EC-XRGB: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 24ms, your system is too slow.
,,
Above log, the daemon service seems to be started double times.
Anyway, until now, the first command side doesen't output anything and never continuously.

Are you sure you have installed latest version from extensions website?
I installed version 19 with Gnome41 from the Firefox gnome extension plugin. download latest Gnome41 with 19. Once done, I try disable or enable through command such as above present.

Also output of both commands doesn't say any failures, how did you know about extension failure?
Do you mean there's no failures, but gestures don't work?
Yes, and I think there is meaningful with above libinput error includes daemon restarting.

What's output of libinput debug-events when performing swipe ?
Yes, when I try three fingers swipe vertically and horizontally.
It might be event 5 for vertically and event 17 for horizontally.
and the libinput get slow in doing for each action, due to cause late response.

Here is second time log from journalctl --user -f -o cat -u gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service

[eypsume]

what's the failure? Gesture doesn't work , so I wrote this bug subject as 'Doesen't work .."

[harshadgavali]

Sorry I misunderstood some things.

1. If you installed extension by downloading zip file, instead of toggling button in extension website
   OR you manually updated extension through extension website
   both of these actions require restart

2. (make sure extension appears in https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Extensions app)
   (or it appears in output of gnome-extensions list)
   I think this is main issue.

3. Also make sure you are in input group
   As mentioned in REAME on https://github.com/harshadgavali/gnome-x11-gesture-daemon

> # run command to add user to `input` group
> sudo usermod -aG input $USER
> # **This also requires restart**

~> groups # to verify which group you are in
wheel libvirt input

1. And you're not expected to start by service manually (extension does that) (sorry for confusion, I'll add this to README)

output of journalctl

When extension is enabled, output of journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell should have debug statement on X11.
Output:

>  journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
[DEBUG]:: in function subscribe at gestures/src/utils/dbus.js:105:13
	"starting dbus service 'gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service' via spawn"

Steps to get output are.

1. Disable extension gnome-extensions disable gestureImprovements@gestures
2. Run command in journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell in terminal
3. In different terminal enable extension gnome-extensions enable gestureImprovements@gestures
4. If you don't see debug output in journalctl command, that means extension is not enabled

[eypsume]

I think there is no problem on my installation and testing.
I definitely did it everything your guide says.

1. If you installed extension by downloading zip file, instead of toggling button in extension website
   OR you manually updated extension through extension website
   both of these actions require restart

I installed it from extension website toggling button but NOT download .zip file.
I restarted or log out/in after installation.

2. (make sure extension appears in https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Extensions app)
   (or it appears in output of gnome-extensions list)
   I think this is main issue.

I have used 'gnome-extension list' to find the extension ID.
that showing is like below,,

$ gnome-extensions list
gestureImprovements@gestures

3. Also make sure you are in input group
   As mentioned in REAME on https://github.com/harshadgavali/gnome-x11-gesture-daemon

Sure, I done it already when I install origin first time.
look like this, (note, I replace the real account name to eypsume just for privacy)

$ groups
eypsume wheel input

1.And you're not expected to start by service manually (extension does that) (sorry for confusion, I'll add this to README)

I just tried manually to start the service when I don't see that starting message at output.

4.If you don't see debug output in journalctl command, that means extension is not enabled

Yeah, I never see it, I think so the extension is not enabled,
Exactly extension website toggle button get turn-off instantly every time I turn-on. (I refresh the extension website to check it). I don't know the command usage how to check it.

[harshadgavali]

I'm not very familiar with commands for extension, I use extension app most of the time.
But I think all extensions are disabled by default for you.
To check

> gsettings get org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions # should be false
> gnome-extensions list --enabled # this will output list of enabled extension and should contain gestureImprovements@gestures

Can you try enabling any other extension, which provides visual change, like arcmenu and window-list?
And see if they get enabled?

[eypsume]

It might be my gnome-extension doesn't work for any extensions.
Take a look here

$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions
true

$ gnome-extensions list --enabled

• empty -

$ gnome-extensions list --disabled
gestureImprovements@gestures

Okay, I treid, I enable app-menu by $ gnome-extensions enable [email protected]

and then I check that state again but the app-menu was not enabled,
$ gnome-extensions list --enabled

$ gnome-extensions list --disabled

I have not use any extension after install Fedora 35 and update.
First the extension I install is your gestureImprovement.
what's problem for me?

[harshadgavali]

Ah this is gnome thing, it sometimes automatically disables all extensions, whenever there's some failure anywhere.
To enable extensions

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions false

Or enable using extensions application (GUI)

# install app
sudo dnf install gnome-extensions-app
