Touchpad edge scrolling not working on upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10

Solution 1:

The reason is that two finger scroll has been enabled by default in Ubuntu 13.10. In case you want to get back the edge scrolling, do the following:

• Go to Unity Dash and look for Mouse & Touchpad

• In here, uncheck the Two finger scroll option

That's it. No need to restart or anything. Edge scrolling will be back. Here is a tutorial I wrote, in case you need screenshots: Enable edge scrolling in Ubuntu 13.10.

Solution 2:

I had the same issue, caused by two-finger scrolling being enabled by default. Go to the power/settings icon, select system settings, select mouse and touchpad, and deselect two finger scroll.
