I downloaded “Touchegg” and entered the commands to run it. But it doesn’t work.
Mod Edit: removed pointless sceenshot. Please don’t post images. See tip below.
Tip
When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.
Instead of like this:
Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.
For more information, please see:
As I’m a moderator on the forum, I have taken the liberty of doing this for you, this time.
Additionally
If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum Users. Please take the time to to understand how it is done and encourage quality responses.
Additionally I noticed it has instructions on its website:
Presumably you followed those?
How did you install it?
Insufficient information provided. Topic is unlisted until OP can better explain the issues they are experiencing, and provide any related information.
I installed the program and executed the commands that were written in github. Gestures don’t work after reboot.
If you enter the command touchegg, it outputs:
Touchégg v2.0.17.
Starting Touchégg in client mode
Parsing your configuration file...
Using configuration file "/usr/share/touchegg/touchegg.conf"
Configuration parsed successfully
Connecting to Touchégg daemon...
Connection with Touchégg established
Note: Duplicate topics are not allowed. I have merged your second thread into the first one.
Please provide system information as described (below).
System Information
Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --filter --verbosity=8
or the short form:
inxi -zv8
Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
Touchegg must be enabled as a service using systemctl.
sudo systemctl enable --now touchegg
The instructions on GitHub that the OP claims to have read and followed, are clear enough. The posted output (above) is consistent with what might be expected from having run touchegg manually.
I’m guessing that the OP believed that touchegg would automagically “just work” without spending the time needed to configure it.
Perhaps the following link will be useful;
- Touchegg (Arch Wiki)
Related:
Two-finger scrolling emulation can be restored by installing xdotool and adding to the configuration file, as outlined in the same Arch Wiki article.
There is a GUI desktop application available to configure Touchegg; it’s called Touche. Installing touche will also install touchegg and other dependencies needed:
sudo pacman -S touche
- Touche (GitHub)
I hope this was helpful.
Regards.

The values specified there do not work. By default, the right mouse button is enabled for two touches, but it does not work
I tried but it didn’t work
Then, one supposes you’re out of luck.
