I can't even remember how long ago I stopped installing Flash.

It's been my last computer rebuild about this time last year for me.

I think this is better, but still a complete non starter.

@penguinwrangler No surprise. City of Dallas is very corrupt. Has been a joke and run by jokers for quite a while.

Complexity due to the size of the systems? City of Dallas is NOT an enterprise environment. Not SMB, but c'mon. It's just a city system, if there is complexity, it's from incompetence.

They probably got hit with the "Tom sent you a DocuSign document to review" spam. . .

Guaranteed it was something like that. Nobody goes around accusing city officials of being very bright.

Unifi 5.6.30 has been released
https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Updates-Blog/UniFi-5-6-30-Stable-has-been-released/ba-p/2220761

Been a week and it has not hit the repos yet.

I thought it was supposed to be a week from blog post before the repos updated.

edit: Yes it is supposed ot be a week. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/Notes-on-UniFi-releases-Stable-Candidate-Stable-repos-download/m-p/1800676#M203780

I found this:
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/220066768-UniFi-How-to-Install-Update-via-APT-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu
Reading the releases notes:

But still does not update...

@dbeato From their forums, it looks like 5.6.30 may not have been all that stable after all. Could be why they haven't pushed it to the repo yet is they don't find it stable enough after initial release. They've already got a Stable Candidate for 5.6.31 which seems to address some issues (I'm not signed up for beta so I can't see them myself). May be best just to not worry about this one and wait for the next stable.
