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!
aaah! okay. So if I’m doing things correctly, why doesn’t fusuma have any effect on my system ?
If I am correct mate doesn’t have many touch gestures so there is no effect for it. If you want gestures gnome or kde would be suited. I maybe wrong if so any seniors do correct me 😉
a quick google shows that MATE uses GNOME 2. Is this not enough ?
Well don’t know much about gnome since the first gnome I used was gnome 3.I never tried mate.
