Ydotool not working on Fedora 40?

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that page.

Actually, I found out here a solution that works for me:

export YDOTOOL_SOCKET=/tmp/.ydotool_socket
systemctl restart ydotool
sudo chmod 666 /tmp/.ydotool_socket

Now I can run ydotool without root and it works. Probably not ideal from a security perspective, but at least usable.
