Or is it ok if I change it's name and copy it.

man cp
When I copy 70-synaptics do I delete it from the old location?

Why not? What happens when you try?

The # indicates you need to use sudo or su, usually that is the case when copying to the /etc directory, but any way it (#) is NOT part of the command.
You can copy it to a new name, as all ready mentioned, as long as it ends with .confOr is it ok if I change it's name and copy it.
Well, if you are having a problem copying the original file, to a new directory, path,... changing the name of the file first, and then copying it will not do any good, you will still have the same problem, I think you should, as requested show us the error you get and exactly how it is you are trying to copy it,..

Well you said it, not me, no need to apologize, but also I think it is more of a case of not knowing how to use logic, and think for your self a little, but the same, it takes time to learn that.
Apply some logic: "I am clueless", so where can I get some clues ?,... maybe you did not know, but the 'man' command exists so that clueless people can get clues about the command they are trying to use:
For example:
- Code: Select all
man cp
Will give you some clues as to how to use the command.When I copy 70-synaptics do I delete it from the old location?
No, that is not a good idea, What will you do if things go wrong, and you need a copy of it again ?, a good practice is to make a copy, save it with a new name, something like:
70-synaptics-original.conf , or what ever you want, but be sure it is clear that it is a copy of the original file.Post by Head_on_a_Stick » 2019-03-30 04:48

I went on to edit it and add Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton1" "1"

There was no xorg.conf.f in /etc/X11/
Copy /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
