Cursor trails due to screen capture?

Open mskogly opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug

New to interpreter. Tried installing the --os feature yesterday and had to install different methods for screen capture. Didnt quite get it to work under ubuntu and venv, it seems there are checks in place to limi access to screen capture etc. But after installing the different dependencies I noticed that my mouse sometimes show a glitchy cursor trail, like something is tracking it. Freaks me out. I tried uninstalling anthropic, autogui and the other pips and apts, but after a restart the trailing returns after a while. Very odd.

Reproduce

run interpreter --os and debug the warnings using chatgpt, ran installs on missing pips and apt as needed.

Expected behavior

Not to have my cursor tracked or screen recorded unless interpreter --os is running

Ubuntu 22 and newer is incompatible with os mode as far as I know, because of wayland.

Yes seems like it, tried a lot of things to get it running but ended up uninstalling. I still get cursor trailing, but I can’t seem to identify what service is running causing it. It’s persistent after boot
