Hey everyone .. I have just finished unboxing the little netbook, and have gone for the ubuntu install as well .. I was really hoping for the two-finger scrolling to work, and wanted to say THANKS VERY MUCH )

Hi,I'm new with Linux and created a new file (I called it 'touchpad') on my desktop, but sudo chmod +x /home/myname/desktop/touchpad in the terminal doesn't funktion, there is only "no access on „/home/myname/desktop/touchpad“ and "no such file or direction" after I enter my password. Should I rename the file somehow?

[droggelbecher]

So I mean what is the name of the path exactly, when the file is on the desktop?
Thanks

Linux is case sensitive.

That means you need to use

/home/myname/Desktop/touchpad

and NOT

/home/myname/desktop/touchpad

However, it would be better to use a more sensible location like /home/myname/bin/touchpad so you don't clutter your desktop with this sort of thing.
