Hi Arky, Apologies for the tardy reply.
I originally installed Ubuntu on my laptop on the same 40GB HDD as my Windows XP -Home Edition, in order to try it out. After the failure of of the Flash Player installation, I checked out my disc space available, and Ubuntu Disk Usage Analyser said my Hard Drive was full! My 'Applications' tab in the task bar then refused to open. I have now replaced my hard drive with a fresly formatted 80GB unit and installed only Ubuntu on it - the operating system works fine now. Several updates have been added and I was able to install Flash Player OK - video clips on web pages now play fine. I am slowly working my way through the Ubuntu package and I am impressed so far. I suspect the presence of XP on the same hard drive was causing some conflicts somewhere. The only other problem I have is in receiving files via bluetooth from my PC, which is running XP SP3. I can send and receive files OK with my Samsung bluetooth handphone but receiving files from my desktop PC is so far unsuccessful - I get an error message saying that OBEX is not supported - and yet the desktop PC can receive files from my laptop. The PC and laptop connected and 'Pass-keyed' OK, and both machines recognize each other. Thanks for your suggestions, Kind regards, Graham > Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:45:30 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Bug 427868] Re: Adobe Flashplayer will download, but will not > install -get 'Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-dev' > > Can you try to install flashplugin-installer package using Add/Remove > program or by running 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer' > > -- > Adobe Flashplayer will download, but will not install -get 'Error: Dependency > is not satisfiable: libnspr4-dev' > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427868 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > I have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, using recently mailed Ubuntu > CD.
