Flash no longer works in Chromium

[Ted Reed]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

This may be related to #7945454, but it wouldn't let me add my info to it, and it may well be different.

Chromium doesn't (and therefore websites don't) see Flash as installed.

I'm on 64-bit Natty, fully updated.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. You seem to be running the lucid version of chromium, could you please try switching to natty (assuming that's the release you are on, as apport suggests)?

[Ted Reed (treed)]

Okay. I've upgraded to 13.0.782.15~r88529+1-0ubuntu1~ucd~dev1~natty. Still the same problem.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Thank you for the update. Does Flash work in any other browser (like Firefox)?

[Ted Reed (treed)]

Tested it in Firefox and Epiphany. Neither one has Flash.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Thank you for the update. Could you please try reinstalling flashplayer-installer:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer

[Ted Reed (treed)]

I can try that when I get home tonight.

I guess I should have mentioned that I did try "aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree". I expect that'll be different based on the difference in package, though.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

That's just a transitional package at this point.

[Ted Reed (treed)]

Sweet, that fixed it. Thanks!

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Ok, so it seems that the upgrade didn't download/install flash properly. I'm glad reinstalling fixed it for you. I'm therefore closing this bug. Please report any other issues you may find.
