Bug Description
After several attempts, Nuvola refuses to detect Flash, even though it's installed on my computer. Firefox and Midori detect it just fine, so it's not a path issue (as far as I'm concerned).
To reproduce:
- Install Flash.
- Install Nuvola player.
- Start Nuvola, choose a service that requires Flash (like Grooveshark).
- The service will refuse to start because Flash is not detected.
Output of the Flash support tab:

Nuvola is version 2.0.0, revision 572, running on ArchLinux stable for x86_64. The Flash player is version 11.2.202.238.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, I need more
information to investigate it further.
1) Could you provide versions of following libraries on your system?
libglib2, gtk+-3.0, glib-2.0, gio-2.0, libsoup-2.4 and webkitgtk-3.0.
2) WebKitGtk provides a testing tool that is usually located at webkitgtk- 3.0-0/libexec/ GtkLauncher. This tool can be used to
/usr/lib/
decide, whether the bug is caused by WebKitGtk itself or just Nuvola
Player uses it in a bad way. Unfortunately, the tool seems not to be
provided by an Arch Linux package [1]. Could you ask maintainer of the
package about an easy way how to install the WebKit GtkLauncher?
