feat: Add ydotool to the dx image

[dylanmtaylor]

With ydotool, users can script and automate inputs for mouse and keyboard in a way that works on Wayland.

This is pretty great, can you whip up quick instructions for the forum? Enabling one service is fine and probably not work doing a ujust for.

I'm going to admit to something - I have it working and have tested it, but the way I did so is not 100% ideal.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2391183 says to run

- systemctl enable ydotool
- systemctl start ydotool

(This can be simplified to one command - sudo systemctl enable ydotool --now).

This was not sufficient for me as it ran as root and created a file at /tmp/.ydotool_socket owned by root. To make ydotool work without using sudo in front of it, I did this:

export YDOTOOL_SOCKET=/tmp/.ydotool_socket # You can put this in your profile files
sudo chmod 666 /tmp/.ydotool_socket

I know the latter command is not great for security.

Someone at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/ydotool-not-working-on-fedora-40/114333/4 had a better suggestion:

sudo dnf install ydotool
sudo tee /etc/profile.d/ydotool.sh << "EOF" > /dev/null
export YDOTOOL_SOCKET="/tmp/.ydotool_socket"
EOF
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ydotool.service.d
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ydotool.service.d/override.conf << EOF > /dev/null
[Service]
Group=input
ExecStart=
ExecStart=ydotoold -P 660
EOF
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable ydotool.service
sudo systemctl restart ydotool.service
sudo usermod -a -G input ${USER}

If I want to recommend a solution to people other than myself, I'd want it to be more secure. The above is probably WAY better, and can be a ujust action.

To test this, here's a valid example:

ydotool type -D 1000 -d 50 'Universal blue is awesome!'

In this case I think a ujust command makes more sense.

I'm unsure if the command accepts UID and GID for that socket creation.

A ujust command would make it possible to setup the overrides appropriately.

I agree with this. I'm not familiar with ujust, but will give it a shot. Can we merge this? I'll start work on the ujust in a separate PR.

Looks like asus kernel builds were pulled for 39. Maybe we need to add an override to not build those
