Lost Swipe functionality
-
Hi all,
I can’t for the life of me find any information on this…
I’ve upgraded my MM to the latest version 2.31.0 the other night.
Now, I’ve lost my touchscreen swipe capabilities using MMM-Touch?
I can still touch the screen and change page touching on the page indicators at the bottom of the screen, but I used to be able to swipe and change page that way. Now I can’t?
I also did rotate my screen 270 to change to portrait mode, and the swipe still worked but I had to swipe up and down instead to move sideways… now it doesn’t work at all?
Trying to also use the DOUBLE_TAP gesture to go to a MMM-Wallpaper module in fullscreen, but can’t get that too work either…
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mischa -

ok. So I have fixed it. It was a system function that wasn’t reading the USB touch interface I’d plugged in anymore. Have managed to get that sorted now after having to rotate screen and then rotate X and Y axis commands. Swipe working again. Thanks -
@mischag how did you upgrade?
are there any messages from MagicMirror startup
if using pm2 then
pm2 logs --lines=100 -
@mischag
This definitely sounds like a system not a MagicMirror problem.
You didn’t provide system information, so it’s hard to say anything.
What Pi? What OS? What screen?I recently upgraded a (really old) Pi 2B and the (until upgrade) smoothly running touch didn’t work anymore - clearly caused by OS-upgrade.
The newer version introduced a completely different (touch) screen handling (without any warning, hint or message regarding this fact).
The axes and x-y positionings were mirrored. Your description sounds like that…Regards,

@mischag Sorry to reply to an old issue but was wondering how exactly you fixed your issue? My MMM-Touch doesn’t work as well. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 with the latest Pi OS, Debian 12 Buster. I can perform touch, swipe, drag and drop, etc. outside of the Magic Mirror interface but as I said, not in MMM-Touch. Touch does work when using the page-indicator module and also in MMM-SmartTouch but swiping seems to be ignored or not recognized.

@seabass debian 12 is not buster
10 was buster
11 was bullseye
12 is bookworm
13 is trixie -
@sdetweil Correct, not sure why I wrote buster when os-release clearly stated bookworm.
