mouse.click() does not work for the interpreter in terminal

[Perzan]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install mouse: python3 -m pip install mouse
2. Open the interpreter with sudo: sudo python3
3. Do the following:

import mouse
import time

while True:
  time.sleep(1)
  mouse.click()

No errors are thrown; It just silently fails. My mouse doesn't appear to select anything when I slowly glide it by some text in a text editor.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

1. test it in a other ubuntu. today i noticed that my maus script works in another (newly installed) kubuntu. but not in the system in which I work
2. try sudo apt-get install python3-autopilot

For me clicking generally is not working on Ubuntu 18.04. I tried to install python3-autopilot without success.

I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu 20.04.3. I guess that the problem is the nixmouse that must have been changed. But first I'll test on my mac that uses darwinmouse.
