Firefox is giving me fits over an out of date Adobe flash. Firefox says, firefox update must come from my Linux Distro. So update firefox, Zorin.

Hi tomiki,

Have you made sure that your 'Software Update' settings get the downloads from 'Main Server' instead of the server for your locale? ;) :D

Would upgrading Zorin 10 to 11 fix firefox issues?

OK, you have just given the version number! Zorin 10 is no longer supported! To upgrade to 11 follow Wolfman's instructions in his Post Install guide - the first Global thread on the forum. ;) :D

Wolfman's Post install guide doesn't work. It would be nice to just click here and click there, and boom bang I have upgraded Zorin 10 to 11. But no, this Linux and nothing is ever simple in Linux.
Just a thought though, can i do the upgrade through the Terminal? Something like sudo apt-get Zorin 11?

So ya I tried the Terminal rought,,,,,sudo apt-get install zorin11, and the system couldn't the package. Does anybody the Zorin 11 package name, so i can do this upgrade through the terminal i.e. command line.

Hi, If you want to look at rolling distros then you should look at Ubuntu, Trisquel, SolydXK (X = xfce, K = KDE) - not sure what else is out there. You need to look closely at Wolfman's instructions. For me personally, I prefer to backup my '/home' folder and do a fresh install. ;) :D
