Ubuntu Not Quite Perfect

The user accounts Ubuntu said it was migrating, it didn’t. The Firefox settings for the one account I set up were moved, but none of the other user accounts got moved. Worse, when I tried to add them, the “Add User” button is greyed out. Even when I did sudo users-admin I can’t add users.
[update: Seems you need to click “unlock” on the GUI to enable adding accounts.]

Ubuntu ThinkPad Middle Mouse Scrolling

Although it’s not as straightforward as selecting options from a GUI, you can set up the middle button to enable scrolling. All I had to do is create /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi as root and reboot.
