ok so I recently installed Ubuntu on my Chromebook using xfce4 and crouton and in order to make natural scrolling and 3 finger tap work I have to run the commands 

synclient vertscrolldelta=-73
synclient horizscrolldelta=-73
synclient clickfinger3=2
synclient tapbutton3=2

on startup. another page told me to put it in a .sh script, so I've done that, created a .touchpadnaturalscrollingfix.sh with those 4 lines preceded by a #!/usr/bin/bash

and I set it up to run the script on startup in the session and startup but it didn't actually do it when I started up and I had to run the commands manually to get them to work... so how do i get it to run the commands on startup?

  • Did you make the script executable? is `bash` really in `/usr/bin` (usually it's `#!/bin/bash` on Ubuntu systems)? – steeldriver Jan 11 '18 at 19:42
  • i don't know what you mean make the script executable or how to do that, but you are right about the location of bash, i will edit that – user599353 Jan 11 '18 at 21:13
  • To make it executable: `chmod +x path/to/.touchpadnaturalscrollingfix.sh` – steeldriver Jan 11 '18 at 21:14
  • ok i figured it out! when adding it to the startup application i was just putting the path but i needed an sh command before the path. thank you! – user599353 Jan 13 '18 at 23:26

You may look this previous post of the same problem like you. I thin it will help you and solve your problem. How do I run a script at start up?
