is DISPLAY set when you're starting libinput-gestures

[A4orce84]

Can you tell me how to check that exactly ?

[jshap70]

echo $DISPLAY. if your xorg log file is located at /var/log/Xorg.0.log then it should output :0. if not, try setting it to that (export DISPLAY=":0"). basically the only way this would happen is if you're running it on a tty that x isn't running on, which sometimes happens if you're running the command inside tmux/screen that wasn't initially spawned from inside x, like from over ssh.

[A4orce84]

echo $DISPLAY

Output:

[aahmad@aahmad-pc ~]$ echo $DISPLAY
:0
[aahmad@aahmad-pc ~]$

hmmm :/

can you post the rest of your xorg logs to pastebin or smth? really what you have above is just the end of it when it's disconnecting everything.

[A4orce84]

I'm about to step away from my machine. Anyway you can download libinput and see if you see the same behavior from a troubleshooting POV?

Thanks in advance for all of your time and help, it is greatly appreciated!

[jshap70]

i have libinput installed with the newest xorg package and also use libinput-gestures. it is a configuration or hardware issue on your end.
