I just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and now I can't use edge scrolling on my laptop's touchpad! Why is this happening?! A few hours back everything was fine in 13.04. Is this a bug? Any workarounds available?

PS: My laptop is a Lenovo G570 with Intel Core i5 @ 2.3GHz

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.
