With regards the install, it said "Click here to upgrade" and I did that. Nothing happened.

With regards a different browser, that may yet be what I do.

With regards a reinstall, it's older hardware, so there's every chance a newer version won't run - I've had that happen before.

And I have tested the hardware quite thoroughly - it's fine. Flash breaking is something I'm seeing on several platforms, including my Windows laptop, where Chrome regularly says "Oh look! Flash Crash!" (or something).

I love programming, I just hate computers. I wish I could go back to embedded work. I enjoyed fitting TCP stacks onto new chips with 100 bytes of RAM.

Bummer. A distro should never break on update. I wish I was more familiar with Suse. Oh well, I blame Flash :)
