Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
While testing the 8.04 Beta, I encountered the following scenario.
Boot CD. Launch firefox3. Hit youtube. ff3 is nice enough to comment that I'm missing the flash plugin, so I click the "Install Missing Plugins..." under the toolbars. I'm presented with an option to choose a plugin, either Adobe (default) or Gnash. I click "Next" (so accepting the default choice of Adobe) and am presented with the unhelpful dialog saying: Can not find "flashplugin-
If I *first* add multiverse and universe to my software sources and then run through the exercise above, the plugin is installed correctly and firefox successfully displays flash after the required restart.
I believe this bug has 2 parts:
1. Inform the user that they must select multiverse/universe as a source if they plan on installing flashplugin-
2. Inform the user of failure, not success, if flashplugin-nonfree is not actually installed.
Thanks!
Thanks for your bug report.
The second issue is already being worked on, see bug #144042.
