On Ubuntu MATE 16.04, my touchpad scrolled just fine. Now, on Ubuntu 18.04 (gnome version, the basic one), it doesn't want to scroll when I go up and down at the right side of the touchpad like it used to scroll on 16.04 mate. Can someone help me what should I do to make it work? I have a Thinkpad T520 laptop.

1. Touchpad config via xinput
Check your xinput properties.
First you have to identify your touchpad, therefore type
xinput
which will output your devices. Search for something like touchpad,... and its idenctifaction number.
Now you can list the properties of your touchpad via following command (in the following comand lines the touchpad's id is 13):
xinput --list --long 13
xinput test 13 # now you can click, move, scroll and the terminal will output the input events from your touchpad
xinput list-props 13
Search for an entry something like Vertical Scroll. You can set these properties via the --set commands. Look in the man page (man xinput) for a detailed description. So for instance if the increment is not set, you are not able to scroll.
2. Look in your Settings Gui
It is also possible that you have not set the touchpad correct in your config, therefore open the Settings program. Click on the left side on Devices and then on Mouse & Touchpad. For instance you should disable Two-finger Scrolling to get your wanted right scrolling. Also you have to enable Edge Scrolling!
