Try as I may, I can not get flash to work properly. (16.04) Chromium,
cant load it, nothing happens after unpack attempt, Firefox, asks
each time if I want to use it before activating. Streaming is jerky
on Firefox, but good on Chromium. Any suggestions please ?
18.04, how do I get it, no update message seen, only thing I have
seen is a report on a bug that stops 18.04 loading on to a normal
DVD. Is 18.04 available yet, if so, how does one get it please ?
18.04 is now avalable to download. Get it here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/18.04/release/
Traditional wisdom is it's better to wait 3 months until 18.04.1 is out
before doing an upgrade as opposed to a fresh install.
Do backups, download 18.04 and make bootable media and then if the
upgrade doesn't work for your install you are in a position to rebuild
My machine is a 32bit homebuild.
Be aware that the above download for Ubuntu 18.04 is 64 bit only, so I'm
not sure what happens if you try upgrading a 32bit install. If you want
32 bit 18.04 you may need to choose a different flavour e.g.
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/18.04/release/
The very existence of this suggests to me that there should be enough in
the repositories to do a 32 bit upgrade, but the problem might be that
16.04 uses Unity and 18.04 uses Gnome3. Installing another desktop in
your 16.04 install might help avoid ending up with an 18.04 you can't
use, but there will be more knowlegable people here who can give you the
lowdown.
As for flash, there are two packages which do what you want - you should
only install one of them. They get updates through the standard update
mechanism. They are:
flashplugin-installer
or
adobe-flashplugin
The first is in the multiverse repository, and the documentation says it
works for a wide range of browsers. It downloads flash from Adobe. The
second is in the default repositories and works for Chromium and Firefox
here, and maybe others. The second is easiest - if that one fails try
the first.
