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 ?
