How do I install xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz in ubuntu 11?

I have found the file and downloaded the file from windows.

I don't have any idea of how to install the driver in ubuntu.

when searched how to install, I got the following

  1. Enable the extra repository on /etc/pacman.conf:
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
  1. Install xf86-input-synaptics xz package:
pacman -Sy xf86-input-synaptics

i searched for the file in the folder but there is no such file existing?

please help me out?

You need to enable 

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

on 

/etc/pacman.conf

Install xf86-input-synaptics xz package: 

# pacman -Sy xf86-input-synaptics

Please take a look on http://pkgs.org/archlinux/archlinux-extra-i686/xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz.html

Please refer google for get better https://www.google.com/search?q=install+package+in+ubuntu

  • Are you sure it is not somewhere? Try in shell to run `updatedb; locate pacman.conf;` if nothing show up... – Ωmega Mar 18 '12 at 14:59
