I want to try Ubuntu on windows but it don't work

[jmbell]

I usually avoid gui package managers and the software center...just a matter of personal preference. What do you get when you use the following command in a terminal? (Hope I'm not stepping on your toes, oldfred!)

 sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

You might also want to install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound as well.

Cheers!

At the top of Ubuntu desktop I see (with the mouse over) File-Edit-View-Go-Help but I don't see Software Sources in Edit.
And I have nothing at the top of Software Center panel (with the mouse over).

Did you click on the software center window first? The top menu usually reflects the program currently selected. Just a thought.

Sorry jmbell I just saw your message.


I have tried your code but it don't work and I would like to show you the terminal message but the message is in french ???... I don't why... the Ubuntu desktop is in english.

To change your locale (the language used by the terminal), follow these instructions: http://noldgxpert.blogspot.com/2012/...-terminal.html, run the command I posted, and post the output. You'll probably need to type

 bash

into a terminal or log off and log back on to make your settings permanent.

I click on the Ubuntu Software Center icon on left over Ubuntu One... is it the right button ?
… it show the window as the picture I sent... but no Edit on the top window panel.

Here the message I get:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ LC_ALL=C bash
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Are you on Wubi? forget it. Make a real install and get rid of XP, it is out of support, dead. You don't run an up to date OS inside a dead one and people really shouldn't try to help you IMO

[jmbell]

I actually meant for you to click the software center window itself. But if that doesn't help you find the edit software sources described by oldfred, give this command a shot:

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

If it works, let us know. If not, post the output.

I logged into Unity and this shows menu on very top panel.
