[HLUG] Herefordshire Digest, Vol 1794, Issue 1

Hi Jonathan 

I can't help by popping round myself but thought I might help with words instead ;-) 

If installed flash should update all by itself when you allow updates to run on your Ubuntu pc. 

The package that installs and configures Flash for you is usually called 

flashplugin-installer 

So you should be able to find that in the software installer or you can use the command line: 

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer 

That will require you to enter your password to complete. 

If it is already installed then try telling it to update everything for you immediately: 

sudo apt-get update 

then 

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 

You can do the same force upgrade in the GUI using the upgrade or software manager. For normal Ubuntu installs that is Software Centre so check for the flashplugin-installer and see if there is an update available. 

Hope that helps but I suspect there are others about who may be available for a visit if not. 

Kind regards

Hi 

Please could HLUG help me once again: 

Ideally, I wonder whether it is possible for a HLUG member to actually physically carry out the command on my Ubuntu 14.10 to install an up-to-date Adobe flash player to see a "YouTude" video (I'm learning to do the Tango as Chairman of the "Hereford Tango Club"). At the moment a YouTude video will repeatedl stop to upload. 
I find this command structure too complex to do myself even with the online hep available. 
Thank you! 
Regards, 

Jonathan Roger
