Let's cast a spell upon the public.
Disenchant them with a bad taste,
present them with the old switch-a-roo.
Windows 8, Unity, Gnome 3: Hence forth I would return to Slackware but such is the sad cow that can't moo without the farmer. So I reconcile with Ubuntu. sigh
================================================================
Below is my script to make life easier if you're using Ubuntu.
Cut below and paste into a file called Fixme.
Save it and type:
sudo sh Fixme
Sit back and watch the magic.
Note that gedit will open a text file and if you look below you can see the contents you need paste into and save it. Look for the marble mouse additions below.
