In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

How to Fix Ugly/Pixelated Unity Icons in 15.04
The first thing I noticed upon upgrading to 15.04 wasn't positive.
In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

After a little browse online, I discovered that I wasn't the only person to have had this problem and that thankfully this problem was patched in a Unity update.
What I did to fix this issue was re-install the package: unity - 7.3.2+15. 10.20151016-0ubuntu1 via the synaptic package manager.
I then restarted Unity via:
sudo service lightdm restart
To find my icons were all back to their original good-looking selves!

Flash Won't Work in Firefox - "Flash Player 11.3.300 Required"
So I was messing about on Betfair, hoping to net a tidy profit on some of the World Cup matches (not likely!) when I noticed they'd given me some free spins on their Live Casino service. Not likely to pass up the chance to win some risk-free money, I promptly headed on over there only to find my version of Flash was not up to their high expectations.
After doing a bit of forum browsing, I'd read that Adobe had stop putting out usable updates for Firefox in uBuntu a while back. Thankfully there is a solution. I suspect there is a better way but what is most certainly the quickest and easiest way is to download and install Google Chrome (Note: not Chromium that is installed via the Software centre).
This shouldn't take more than five or ten minutes and when running, Chrome comes with the latest version of Flash installed so every Flash application should run smoothly.
