Woo hoo! works perfectly!... (so far ;^) ) thank you!
I formatted an external SSD as ext4, using the rescue DVD as it turns out. I did not pay to much attention to the permissions as I assumed it would be correct.
As the main Ubuntu installation is...
I appreciate the help - a couple follow up questions :
* how is space allocated for spare cells during formatting
* is there a log file somewhere that keeps track of cells that are going bad, or...
I would like to understand what to expect from my system, as it seems the drive all of a sudden had about 20 errors that needed fsck.ext4 to repair. Apparently, it is all back to normal now, as I can...
I just upgraded to 20.04.1 LTS focal, linux 5.4.0-48-generic and Apple magic trackpad 2 works with two-finger scroll and tap to click (I can't be bothered to look up the precise definitions of these...

I have asked other questions attempting to figure this out- e.g:

I am hoping that the AMT2 will "just work" if kernel 4.20 ends up in...

I have encountered the libinput and synaptics packages while in the process of getting multitouch gestures working with an Apple Magic Trackpad 2. Because there are some old webpages out there, it is...
Is it conventional for X to write to ~/.local/share/xorg? I thought it always writes to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
UPDATE:
ANSWER : YES - REASON :
an ask Ubuntu webpage claims that rootless X default...

I'm going to post to this thread as I get the AMT2 working on my system - as a DIY / how-to. if that's ok. because this is confusing to me. My system is also somewhat precarious, having an...
Well, I just plugged one in, and I'm delighted to learn it moves the pointer and does single click right out of the box, no fuss.
I have to figure out if I can do anything else with it. I'll...
well, I'm using the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 right now - it works - meaning, single-click and translate pointer so far, right out of the box, I'm pleased to learn.
Since this is now a specific...

thank you! This program is awesome!
the machine has an Acer WMCP78M. Sadly, Acer does not have an obvious page for it. There are some moderately interesting pages which can be found with a search,...
I have a machine that needs more DDR2 memory in an Acer Aspire AX1300 desktop. My best understanding of this - from extensive searching on the Acer website especially - is there are two DIMMs on the...
interesting to know, thanks - can't beat the price of that either.
I'm very tempted to just go get an AMT2 and plug it in the USB port...

OK - how about I post a few I found that seem interesting to try :
1. Perixx Peripad 504 - large : the small version works (so say users) but not the big one.
