Ubuntu final flash issues!
I finally was able to install Ubuntu 9.10 today final. I was interested to see if the Ubuntu One error was gone and it was.
It seems that I had trouble installing the flash non-free plug-in though.
I installed it from Adobes redirect in Firefox, restarted the browser and nothing. I then tried installing flash from within the new software center and again after installing adobe flash plug-in and restarting, it did not work.
My last option was to install the restricted extras package and woala it works!
Just a friendly suggestion maybe we can just install the restricted extras by default when installing flash. At the very least the install failures I received will be discouraging to new users and will also have the trolls attacking Ubuntu/Linux saying we can’t get even something so simple solved still.
Al the seeming successful install that did not work for me went off wothout a hitch and lead me to believe everything went fine. Too many options and especially when they do not work will only make the world question can Linux ever get it right on the desktop. Why does it seem that we get something solved only to have it reveal it self in another bug or use case.
Believe me I want Linux to succeed and I plan to help wherever I can I just have not been able to get assimilated in to a project to help yet.
I’ll keep you all updated
As I said in the previous blog Ubuntu has done some real special things in this release in spite of flash install issues I had.
