        @dobey I thought that u-d-f doesn't work on 18.04, I couldn't install it, any particular package to install? Could you clarify what build to use, as I can't find any. Thanks.

          ubuntu-device-flash --server http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel ubuntu-touch/stable --device=deb

          Actually, after reading your post again I realize ... if this command works, you should be done.

              The latest ubuntu-device-flash package for your architecture from https://repo.ubports.com/pool/bionic/main/g/goget-ubuntu-touch/ should work on 18.04.

                @dobey I tried to install, it says installing,but won't install. Really strange. It's normal .deb amd64 package and it just won't work. Never mind, my wife is on 16.04, so I just keep flashing it on her laptop. Thanks for the help anyway.

                  @stefano Probably the best to add the repo to your system and use it from there. Did you try that?

                  echo "deb http://repo.ubports.com/ bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubports.list
                  wget http://repo.ubports.com/keyring.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -
                  

                  and then

                  apt update
                  apt install ubuntu-device-flash

                      @zubozrout @dobey I found this and managed to install it. I know it's for 14.04, but somehow it work, don't really know what I've done. I played with aptitude and get the public.key from ubports, it still said that click-ubuntu-policy is missing and has no installable candidate. Anyway, now it just successfully flashed my Pro5 with latest Stable release. I'm over the moon 🙂
                      this is what I've done;

                      echo "deb http://repo.ubports.com/ bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubports.list

                      wget https://repo.ubports.com/pubkey.gpg

                      OK
                      sudo apt update

                      then just download this package and install it:http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/goget-ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-device-flash_0.2+14.04.20140416.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
                      all done and ready to flash UT on 18.04 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                      Thanks you guys for your help, you rock!

                        Hey @zlamalp how's it going? Did you ever get that deb? The image has just been fixed and we could do with testers that have a deb ...

                          Hi @doniks,

                          sorry, I wasn't able to get one. Everybody is selling older model with Tegra chip.
