Sorry I lumped so much text into one box. I must have been asleep at the wheel.
I was just setting up another of these today with 18.04.1 and it's also effected but I know Xenial worked fine out-of-box so I'm just guessing (with inadequate studying) that the change to GNOME as default resulted in slightly different dependencies????? It is indeed a low priority bug, or I'm almost hesitant to call it a true bug since apparently it effects a very limited number of older laptops. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845898 Title: Unable to set touchpad Edge Scrolling in Eoan Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After installing the Eoan Beta on a Dell Latitude E6400 attempting to set touchpad Edge Scrolling was unsuccessful. It actually seemed to work as long as the System Settings window was left open but as soon as the window is closed the Edge Scrolling setting reverts to off. I did however find that simply installing the package 'xserver-xorg- input-synaptics' solves the problem. In fact it adds the additional setting option of Two Finger Scrolling to the control center UI. I'm not sure if that package should be installed by default or not? Steps to reproduce are simple: (1) Install Ubuntu Eoan on a laptop (could possibly work with a keyboard with an incorporated touchpad). (2) Open Gnome Control Center (System Settings) and go to Devices > Mouse & Touchpad. (3) Select Edge Scrolling and you'll notice the "button" turn green. Close System Settings. (4) Reopen System Settings and you'll see Edge Scrolling has turned off again. (5) Install 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' and then reboot. (6) Repeat the above steps and you'll find that setting Edge Scrolling is successful even after closing System Settings. Additionally you'll find that a new Two Finger Scrolling option has been added to the UI.
