mouse is still invisible and ld preloaded steam displaying error message in konsole on KDE plasma.

[amazondemon]

as seen in the title the issue has not been fixed, knowing me i probably just did something wrong. So I came here to ask for help.
i launched steam using the ld preload command LD_PRELOAD=target/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/release/libextest.so steam i get the ELFCLASS32 error but i read to just ignore that one, i also get an error saying ERROR: ld.so: object 'target/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/release/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored..
the extest fake device also doesn't show up in libinput and I am in the input group.
i cloned the evdev repo but when i tried using the cargo run --example virtual_mouse command i got the following error error: no example target named virtual_mousein default-run packages
i'm using Kubuntu 25.10 with KDE Plasma 6.4.5
if you need more system info just ask

thank you

That error reads as though the file does not exist (at that path), or it can't find it from CWD.

Pass the complete, absolute path instead.

E.g., given:

user@my-pc:~$ realpath libextest.so 
/home/user/libextest.so

Start Steam like:

LD_PRELOAD=/home/user/libextest.so steam

Locate your own actual realpath libextest.so, obviously.
