Xubuntu and mouse scrolling direction
I'm using xubuntu (not unity) and mouse scrolling works totally wrong. I see first comments on this dated 2011. Now it is 2017 and everything is the same mess.
So. I'm using xubuntu. And I like natural mouse scrolling direction - the same way it works in MacOS X. If you want to move your page up you scroll two fingers up. If scroll down then down.
I have touchpad. By default I have reverse scrolling direction. Scrolling fingers up scroll page down, left to right. If I turn on reverse scrolling for the touchpad then I get natural scrolling direction for up/down. But left right direction is still unnatural. And separate issue is google chrome (not chromium, I didn't check it). My Chrome version is 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit). And it totally ignores system settings. It has always unnatural scrolling direction for up/down.

It's the same in 18.04. I'm solving it by removing Xubuntu.

You can reverse the scrolling direction by running this in a console.
synclient VertScrollDelta=-58; synclient HorizScrollDelta=-58
If you want keep the reverse scroll direction after restarting do the following:
Create a script /usr/local/share/set_natural_scroll.sh with the following contents. This is the script that we will run on startup.
#!/usr/bin/bash
# Sets the scrolling direction to 'natural'
synclient VertScrollDelta=-58
synclient HorizScrollDelta=-58
Create a file ~/.config/autostart/scroll_startup.desktop with the following contents. This will configure the script to be run on startup.
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Script
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/local/share/set_natural_scroll.sh
Icon=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Hidden=false
GenericName=
GenericName[en_US]=
When xfce starts it will now run your script and setup the scroll direction.
