Has anyone managed to get Flash working in the 64 bit version?

yeah. Just installed ubuntu restricted extras

T0M0 · 1 May 2010 at 20:19

Where's that?

I installed the restricted drivers due to a pop up appearing.

Have not seen anywhere to install restricted areas though?

Make sure Universe & Multiverse is selected in software sources then..

Code:

 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Which worked for me.

If that doesn't work then get Carlees installer from here

Really? I wouldn't have expected that with an Atom... they're a bit better than the P4s aren't they? And i've seen people running Ubuntu on a PIII smoothly, ran it on my old PII rig the other day and it was quite usable (will be sticking to Slitaz however).

Postfix is fine, its running good as a MTA, can send and receive mail, POP3 and IMAP are working ok.

But open atmail and postfix admin completely copped it.

Looks like it comes with PHP 5.3.2 which is causing big problems

Solaris · 2 May 2010 at 00:00

Reading up on it looks like squirrel mail works on PHP 5.3, so you should be fine

I however am screwed, need to roll PHP back to 5.2

yeah i wasn't sure what it was but with it just bing used for browser/email duties i never bothers doing a fresh install or looking into much

XBMC is a lot smoother in lucid but when i transfer over samba the video playback gets choppy, so gains and losses.

I've installed the codecs you said to install but it still won't play videos. It just shows the video description in the video screen.

argh.

I'm having the same problem now...

Updated ubuntu to 10.04 final.

Still can't get minitube to work.

craptakular · 2 May 2010 at 15:01

*sits in his arch linux desktop watching flash and minitube*

I have really gone off ubuntu since I have learnt a bit more over the years it seems they try and go there own way and it sometimes doesn't work.

Waited a few days after the release to install 10.04 as I heard of the bugs, but got round to installing it on my laptop yesterday and I gotta say its the best version yet by a far shot for me.

Everything worked out of the box as usual but the main difference is the speed, it's blisteringly fast, even the live cd before installing was fast! :eek:

. Very chuffed with it, spotify works with no tweaking in wine (had to change sound settings on all previous versions of wine), also rhythmbox is fantastic, I can't believe it supports iphone and ipod touch syncing for music with no plugins or additional packages :eek:

, just synced a few albums and it works great on the latest firmware on an iphone 3GS, I can ditch iTunes in virtual box now

Overall its very polished, the software centre is user friendly and nice, the default theme is also quite nice and the music store is a good addition.

I read on their website that 10.04 is optimized for SSDs so in the next few weeks when I get time I'm going to install it on my desktop with a vertex SSD. Cant wait!

upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 NBR last night. very impressed and no issues so far apart from getting flash working but installed it via synaptics package manager rather than Firefox plugin and that resolved it.

What the **** is this indicator-applet ****? It's trying to replace the system tray and doing a **** job. You can't decide what goes by the clock and what doesn't. This single fault had made me not want ubuntu any more. Not sure what distro I'll use next, but I'm moving.
