Hi Neil. I haven't had Lubuntu fail to install. I tend not to use it as a live CD as the computers I work on are rather old and not really suited for that task. I refurbish old PCs on behalf of a mental health charity, Contact, and they are given to Contact's members, their carers or families.

[lubuntu-users] Firefox playing flash

Hi, I'm testing a system that has had problems with the i915 graphics driver in the past. At the moment it is running Lubuntu 16.04 LTS GNU/Linux and everything is fine. However, I haven't activated flash playback in Firefox, yet. In the run up to Firefox 47 (I think), I was led to believe that
