I’m new to linux, running last version of ubuntu MATE. Tried to get fusuma to have a better experience with my touchpad (I’m using an hp notebook). I followed the whole guide for ubuntu users on the Github page, created the config.yml using these two commands:
mkdir -p ~/.config/fusuma
nano ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml
Then I used the config.yml file they provided and got the result you see in this image when I launched sudo fusuma, i.e the error :
config file: /root/.config/fusuma/config.yml is NOT FOUND
Then I run just “fusuma” without sudo and the error disappeared, but fusuma does literally nothing. Can someone please help me with this?
This is the first time I installed a Linux distro (I heard it lowers the possibility of getting a blue screen which happened to me lately result of my SSD dying). So I really don’t understand permissions here (how I run things as administrator like in windows) and the difference between root and home clearly, I don’t even know how to uninstall fusuma to try again now!
Did you try this command yet?
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events enabledI just now opened the terminal and ran this, nothing happened. The I ran “fusuma” and tried pinch zoom and 3 fingers gestures also nothing happened.
Hmm, in that case I’ve got nothing more sorry, since I don’t use this program myself, nor MATE. You could try asking on fusuma’s github page, or alternatively, I would recommend using Touchégg instead, which is a basically the de-facto program for multi-touch gestures, for people using a non-standard desktop.
Okay, I tried it (along with touché the gui, and it’s worst here, it breaks the whole system ability to make use of the touchpad. I guess problem with the gnome version of MATE. Thanks for your help bro
