  • You can copy the output with CTRL-SHIFT-C (don't ask my why it isn't the usual CTRL-C). Paste your output here so we can take a look.

  • @JimDeadlock It's not the "standard" CTRL+C because that is used to kill the current running job in the terminal.

first you need to configure the update notifier:



$ sudo apt install --reinstall update-notifier
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure update-notifier


then install the ms core fonts/flash and accept the eula:



$ sudo apt install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer flashplugin-installer


if you don't get prompted to accept the EULA stuff, do this next:



install flash plugin:



$ sudo /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/install_plugin


install the fonts from M$



$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
