    Hi,
    I followed all your instuctions but it doesn't work.

    this is the error message that i get when i use this command:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptics-dkms

    W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/utouch-team...64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

    E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

    I will appreciate that you help me.

    The reason why that command didn't work is because you're not on Maverick.

    Sorry, I failed to state that this would only work under 10.10+ right now.

    You could try to remove the ppa by pasting the following into the terminal:
    Code:
    sudo remove-apt-repository utouch-team/utouch
    Now no guarantees that this will work but you could then add the following to your sources list to trick the repository into thinking that you were running 10.10 instead.
    Code:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/utouch-team/utouch/ubuntu maverick main 
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/utouch-team/utouch/ubuntu maverick main
    Then try to install the package once again by pasting the following into terminal:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptics-dkms
