I've recently upgraded my system to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS version but Previously i was in Ubuntu 13.10 where i used to operate my touchpad with circle scrolling. But Now in the Ubuntu 14.04 there is no " synaptiks " package on Ubuntu software center so please help me to install the package or any alternative to use circle scrolling?
For14.04
You can download the .deb file from debian here http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/synaptiks/kde-config-touchpad_0.8.1-2_all.deb
and you can install it using something like dpkg or gdebi or just execute the following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wget gdebi
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/synaptiks/kde-config-touchpad_0.8.1-2_all.deb
sudo gdebi kde-config-touchpad_0.8.1-2_all.deb
sudo apt-mark hold kde-config-touchpad=0.8.1-2
To set up synaptiks, open a terminal and type:
synaptiks
You will see a few errors and something about a broken pipe or syntax whatever . . . just ignore it because it doesn't matter.
When that's done just use ALT + F2 and type synaptiks
this time, synaptiks should open up fine with no troubles.
