Since ubuntu 11.04 the scrollbars have been funny.rnthey are inspired by the osx lion scrollbars and only show when you hover over where they should be.rnrnfortunately here’s how to get classic scrollbars back in ubuntu, with a simple terminal command:rnrn
sudo echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbarsrnrnonce you have entered this command you need to restart your Xsession [restart your computer if you dont know how]rnrnwhen you log back in you will find the old style classic scrollbars again!rnrn
