[KWin] Gestures stop working after certain (kernel?) updates #478

The installation instructions mention this:
To avoid the need to do this manually, you need to package the tool for your distribution, and install from the package. This way, when kwin is updated, inputactions updates with it. |

I made a couple of small changes to my Opensuse RPM package just to try and get it to also build on Fedora. It does get most of the way, but fails late in the build. If we can resolve any build errors I can supply a package that will work on COPR, or I can just build it for Fedora on OBS. Here is the failure from the build log: |

Oh, that makes sense, thanks for clearing this up. I have no clue about building packages, so I am of no help here, I'm afraid. But if you or someone gets the build to work and offers the package on COPR, that would be really cool. What do you mean by OBS in this context? I'm not familiar with that acronym. |

OBS is OpenBuildService, it's kinda like Opensuse's COPR but builds native packages for all distros. This link here is the build I was messing around with, trying to get it to build on Fedora. The build logs are there if anyone wants lots of info. Usually an error like this is because of some missing dependency but I'm pretty sure I got everything (and some extra to be sure). Perhaps one of the source files needs an #include added, or just use |

Judging by the comment on this commit, the problem was that you have an older version of Qt on Fedora. The build completes with https://github.com/InputActions/core/pull/55/changes but the package needs some more work to make it portable between distros. I'll get on it later today. |
Thanks @taj-ny ! Would you like a copy of the spec files here? |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

Problem
Gestures stop working after certain updates are performed. In addition, InputActions vanishes from the desktop effects settings; it also can't be reenabled in the terminal with
(which returns
false).I am not sure which package updates exactly break the desktop effect; I will try to pay more attention to that in the future to find out. Any troubleshooting advise is appreciated.
Side note: I use the
qdbus-qt6command instead ofqdbus6because the latter returnsbash: qdbus6: command not found.... I would guess this is not an issue but figured I should mention it."Duck tape fix"
Perform full reinstall of InputActions by following the initial installation instructions for KWin. Gestures will work again until the next system (?) update which will break it again.
Expectation
The desktop effect should not be affected by updates.
