      @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.

          Thanks @doniks I'll see if that works if I get the device.

            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
                    --2019-01-18 10:36:36-- 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.
