"Command not found" errors: sudo apt-get install scrot xdotool xclip x11-utils x11-apps Permission denied: Ensure you're running in a graphical session (X11 or Wayland) Some actions require focus on the target window Mouse doesn't move: Check if another application is grabbing the mouse Try moving the mouse manually to see if it's responsive
