/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[3181]: Error connecting to Touchégg daemon: Could not connect: Connection refused
/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[3181]: Reconnecting in 5 seconds…
This looks like a gdm permissions problem. Does anyone have a fix for this? (apart from the brute force solution of removing touchegg)
The error doesn’t necessarily mean a permissions problem.
Is the touchegg daemon running? I think the normal setup is to run the daemon via a systemd unit, while the client is loaded via autostart (although you could have a different setup).
