How to fix touchpad gestures on Ubuntu

Install and enable Touchegg

Touchegg is a daemon that transform the gestures you make on your touchpad or touchscreen into visible actions in your desktop.

If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, use the following commands to install it from the official PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:touchegg/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install touchegg

Instructs for other distributions available at Touchegg Github Repository

Once installed, you should start the daemon:

sudo systemctl start touchegg

You should also make it start automatically at each boot:

sudo systemctl enable touchegg.service

With that done, you should go ahead and install the X11 Gestures extension.

Once you have enabled it, you can test the three finger swipe immediately. No need to log out or restart.
