Testing Stretch9-RC2
Posted: 2017-03-17 18:25
Earlier this week, I downloaded Stretch9-RC2 ... see this link:

I would like to report the following issues to the dev team:
1) First, installed on an Acer MBR-only motherboard and selected the MATE desktop. Once installation completed, I installed the Slimjet browser and had no issue with Flash and was able to play videos.
2) Secondly, since the CD is a NET install, I proceeded with the installation on an Asus UEFI-ready motherboard and selected the GNOME desktop. Once installation completed, I installed the Slimjet browser and could not play videos due to lack of Flash player. I launched the native Firefox browser and faced the same issue. Then, I installed Chromium and Vivaldi and had no luck with either browser.
3) Thirdly, thought I would test the MATE desktop on the Asus UEFI-ready mobo and dual-boot with the Gnome installation. Alas, Flash issues still persisted.
So, my question is: why do I encounter issues with browsers/no Flash on UEFI installations while I am able to play videos on the MBR installation?
