Hi,

I haven't posted here for years. I guess Ubuntu has been working well for me, so I haven't had the need.

I can't play videos on the Internet. I get an error that ...

"Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on youtube.com."

I get similar errors (that Adobe Flash needs updating) from other sites - fo instance trying to play videos Posted on facebook.

My Firefox is 29.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0

The problem is that you´re using a very old version of Flash. In fact, you´re using very old version of everything, as far as I can see.

Ubuntu 12.10 - means you´re using Ubuntu from October 2012.

Firefox 29 - the one I´m using is 34.

Well, I think you should really think about updating your Ubuntu, so you´ll also have all the other softwares updated, since you´re using old repositories, with old versions of software.

OK. I'm going to upgrade. Is there an easy GUI method? System Tools > Admin > Software Updater gave me ...

Failed to download repository information.

Chris
