viyyer: the situation is somewhat complex. Please read the notes in the bug description. If none of the hints there solve the problem for you then please supply the information which is being requested up there (where up refers to the top of the Launchpad web page where this bug lives; you could of course be reading this in email or somewhere). 1. The fix for Adobe's upgrade to 9.0.115.0 is released. In order to get the fixed version you need to have the right repository. Again, please refer to the bug description. 2. If you ran the erroneous flashplugin-nonfree package then some of the files it left behind might be confusing the fixed version. Again, please refer to the bug description for hints and pointers. 3. If Adobe releases a new upgrade which replaces 9.0.115.0 then we will have this situation again, but there should probably be a separate bug about that if and when it happens. Eventually, if and when bug #175255 is fixed, case 2. should no longer apply. Ultimately, wouldn't it be nice if case 3. could also be prevented from happening any longer in the future. I may be confused but I believe the metabug tag on this bug means it is still the proper place for further discussion for this case. If not, could someone please update the bug description with a pointer to the proper bug for that, too. Tangentially, the Fix Released doesn't apply to Dapper and Edgy, so for those parts, this bug is still open (at least for considering a backport to those releases). -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Conrad Knauer : This bug report is about flashplugin-nonfree that has problems installing flash because flashplugin-nonfree has no way to download the good flash version once it has been updated by Adobe. Since we can't fix this by ourselves (Flash cannot be distributed), the logical way to fix the issue with flashplugin-nonfree is to have direct download link to all flash linux versions, and this can only be fixed by Adobe (unless there is are genius idea I did not have). Deb repository from adobe and gnash are great ideas, but the first one won't give direct access to already tested flash for new ubuntu users and the second one suggest that gnash will replace flash, this is not the case. If some ubuntu users want flash (apparently a lot), I see no reason why we should not do our best to bring flash to ubuntu users, even if gnash get very popular and flash less popular. Your suggestions are great workarounds but not solutions for the flashplugin-nonfree problem which will continue to affect ubuntu users if we don't ask Adobe to provide links to fix flashplugin-nonfree.

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Not sure if this is the right place for this comment, but in my opinion the real problem in this case was that Adobe mixed security fixes and major changes (which made Flash no longer working with existing software like Konqueror) into a single release. This is something that can probably only be prevented either by Adobe offering stable versions for longer time, or by having an open-sourced alternative like Gnash that allows Ubuntu to maintain stable versions and manually backport security fixes. Also, I think that trying to find a way to install old Flash versions is the wrong solution, because it would deliberatly install software with known security holes. During the last months, Ubuntu+Flash+Konqueror/Opera users were probably an easy target for an attacker: they were all vulnerable and had quite predictable software environment (read: most likely all users had the same Konqueror/Opera version and the same libraries installed). So I think the solution that was used here (to keep back the update) was quite dangerous, and should not be repeated in the future. As for Adobes wishlist, maybe it would be more appropriate to ask for long-supported stable versions with stable interfaces? -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
The content available from Adobe is going to change. Either Ubuntu has to be timely in getting updated packages with an updated MD5SUM, to detect file corruption from the transfer, whenever Adobe updates the download, or change the approach. Some options that come to mind: (a) skip the MD5SUM check, (b) download the MD5SUM from Adobe, or (c) work with Adobe on a signed download. One would still want to push out a new package when Adobe revs Flash to cause users to refetch from the URL (and to handle any dependency updates), but the package should otherwise be less dependent on the download from Adobe, since it would no longer have an embedded checksum. The md5sum on our end is pretty important, actually: we *want* to know when the content changes, and then not work until it's QA'd to not cause major problems. Getting the MD5 from them doesn't really fix that. Because we used our own md5's here, we were able to detect a version change, figure out it didn't work on Konqueror, and then decide what to do next. If not, konqueror would just explode randomly and we'd have to track down why. The best solution that we can actually hope for is versioned downloads from Adobe. That one might actually happen if enough people complain. Then we can split up who gets what file if necessary; this would have solved the problems we had with this bug. Barring that, the current solution is probably best. This would have been an overnight fix if Konqueror wasn't broken, which isn't so bad. And I'd rather talk about what to do about Konqueror and decide to break it than have it broken for us without any input :) -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Jan Claeys Oliver Gerlich : I totally agree about your opinion concerning the security, however, like Oliver Gerlich said in this case, we had problems since the new flash version could not be installed due to problems with konqueror so the security updates took multiples weeks before being applied. Asking for Adobe for a better release cycle is a great idea to fix the security problem and I also suggest to do so, but I also still suggest what I suggested earlier, that's two different and important requests. My request is about fixing permanently problems when installing flash (because we have no control over the updates from Adobe), and unlike other apps like Firefox, we don't update the plugins by ourself and when it get updated, all people get installation problems. This request has great chances to be accepted, it will have no positive/negative impact on the security, it will have greatly positive impact on the installation of flash. Your request is about asking Adobe to have a more coherent release cycle concerning security and enhancement updates to avoid people using dangerous products. This problems has less chances to be accepted by Adobe, but it's really important to ask them in order to have a good security, it will have a good impact on security and have a positive impact on the delay before which we can update with the security update. So even if I invite people to ask Adobe for the permanent links, other request like your one might be very important as well since they target other important direct aspects of the bug and I don't want to argue more about this, my opinion is not the only one. Since Adobe gave to us an invitation about my idea, why don't you suggest also your own ideas as well?

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
The problem is the nature of the link between the package and the real code that it downloads from Adobe. Adobe maintains the URL to point to the current code, which is what we want (as noted, they *could* maintain links to security fixed older versions, but it is likely that they will maintain only a single release with both fixes and enhancements).

Toss a popup if you must, but leaving the user high and dry with respect to flash _every time Macromedia makes a new release_ is really bad. It should be a fatal error as you have no idea what's in that zip file that you're about to spew on the system. It may or may not work. It may or may not break things, and it may or may not work in some browsers. Leaving your users high and dry for a day before the updated .deb can be put out is better than not getting a chance to test what you release. You quite simply can't go down that road of no-testing installations, even if it inconveniences users. We all agree that the current solution isn't ideal, but given Adobe's limitations, it's the best answer. Next step: fix Adobe's limitations to not exist in their current form. What's been really problematic is that the issues have been found in the latest release of flash affect a small number of users (and has taken a long time to resolve), but the package prevents all users from installing it. I agree on that point: that wasn't done so well. Given that future upgrades don't break users, the new releases would come out in a matter of hours after some testing. But that should be an indication of why testing is necessary: a failed installation and a message of why it failed is infinitely better than a successful installation that breaks browsers.

It is what Adobe releases. AIUI, Ubuntu is just a distribution vector, and trying to make sure that what Ubuntu *does* control is compatible with what Adobe releases. Are you are viewing Flash as part of the Ubuntu release rather than as a convenience package to install a widely used third party application? Is there anything about the Ubuntu package that does anything other than ensure that dependencies are met, and install the download from Adobe? I agree on that point: that wasn't done so well.

And better than both would be a warning of some kind that informs of the situation, but still allows the user to override the developer's decision to prevent the installation of software he wants. Unstable releases are a feature of every distribution I've heard of, including Ubuntu. Implausible, since macromedia's main testing environment would obviously be firefox. Again, put the user in control of the situation, not the packager. If you put the user in control of the situation, you get source code. The very reason we don't have this is because the user doesn't want to be in (full) control, the user wants someone else to fully test the latest combinations and make sure it all works great. Then get the canned packages. Do you want to patch your own kernel for exploits, or let someone else patch them for you and ensure that they work first? Do you want to install all your own software, or let other people see if it's stable first? I fully believe that this update should have been in unstable immediately, for the reason you mentioned. But in general, allowing opportunities for breakage just isn't an option. This fix would have taken hours if it wasn't found to destroy Konqueror. However, the MD5 problem gave the devs time to figure out how to proceed. It also only affected new installations, not existing ones. Stopping to evaluate what to do about an upgrade that left some people high and dry was the right answer. The right answer, furthermore, was to give a workaround to the small percentage of users and let the vast majority have workability again. This bug was handled correctly (though I would have liked to see a decision faster).

Let's all start to work around these ideas.

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
After upgrading from feisty last night, I'm having this problem now. Perhaps adobe has released a new version. I think there are two bugs here that aren't being clearly addressed: 1) when the package gets installed and fails, the package management infrastructure should detect that condition and set the package state to broken. 2) when the package gets installed and fails, browser configuration should be fixed so that browsers don't hang. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Installing directly from Adobe is not an acceptable option. It is not good for package management, and more importantly, does not let 64-bit users use the flashplugin. The package should be in Ubuntu, not Medibuntu, since this package (although non-free) is essential for many Ubuntu humans. However, Medibuntu can have updated versions of flashplugin-nonfree, coinciding with the ones in the Ubuntu repositories. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maritn - What is the intent of the Dapper and Edgy tasks in this bug? flashplugin-nonfree is at 7.0 for both Dapper and Edgy at the moment bug 9.0 exists in the -backports repositories for both of them. If this is something that becomes fixed via -backports would the Dapper and Edgy tasks the become Fix Released even though they aren't generally available or should the tasks stay at Confirmed? Dapper and Edgy weren't done by Jonathan yet because the version was significantly older and Jonathan had some concerns about automatic upgrades. He said that there was more work to do for them, but I don't know details. Jonathan, any idea about the packages in -backports?

Anyone else here who's more proficient in .deb files want to offer one that contains the old version? I think that's a good solution for people who run into this. Not as good as Konqueror fixing itself, but easier and more immediate until moving to Hardy (where Konqueror is fixed). This is not possible. Due to the nature of the very restricted license of the Flash plugin, the flashplugin-nonfree package is merely an installer wrapper which downloads the plugin from Macromedia and installs it. Since they don't ship the old version any more, rolling back the package version wouldn't fix anything for anyone. If you use Flash on Konqueror, please enable gutsy-proposed and help testing the packages there (which fix Flash for Konqueror).

It was released to Gutsy because everyone who doesn't use Konqueror was broken before, and every new Gutsy user was unable to use Flash. Not exactly ideal.

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
(I couldn't understand Mekaniserad Apelsin's post so some of my post may just be repeating what he said.) I received this update automatically via update manager. Because the previous tar.gz was still in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree, the package did not attempt to download the new version, and of course it failed the md5sum check. I had to manually remove the old tar.gz and run aptitude reinstall to get it installed properly. 1) The package needs to remove the older tar.gz and then download the new one before checking its md5. Possibly the package could include md5sums for all previous versions of the package so that it knows that the tar.gz is a previous version (or the files could be renamed to include version info). 2) The package should fail to install if the md5sums do not match, instead of the package installing successfully without actually installing the plugin. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Flash worked for me when I had the 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12 package installed. I upgraded to ...12.1 when the upgrade notifier told me to, and flash stopped working. I believe the 12.1 version didn't download a new version of flash (maybe the original adobe tarball was still in a cache somewhere?) and then complained about a mismatched md5sum. I ended up first forcing the ubuntu12 version from synaptic, and all was well. I then ran sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and then re-installed it by going to a site in firefox that needed flash. After that, I have the 12.1 package installed and flash seems to be working fine (at least youtube is with sound, definitely not extensive testing though) -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Works perfectly on Gutsy 32 bit. Should note that immediately after installation, the install plugin bar reappears (but flash does work). This could be a result of my method of removing the plugin I had already installed - I removed it through synaptic, then deleted the .so file from .mozilla/plugins . -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?
Hello all, I'm a long time linux user but recently installed Ubuntu. I tried to watch YouTube videos and I eventually found this page. Can anyone point me towards current instructions on how I can get YouTube working? I read a lot above and fiddled with things, I but don't really understand the issues involved. I think some of the information I've seen is out of date. I have Ubuntu v7.10 on an AMD64 dual core system. BTW, I did search the forums a bit, but I never bothered to register, so I haven't tried the password-protected parts of the forum (if that is the solution, as someone suggests above).

Despite the length of this thread I don't actually see any patches. Attached for gutsy and feisty above, I'll upload to -proposed, edgy and dapper are harder though, they need updated from flash 7 and there's more debconf bits to worry about, I couldn't get it working when I tried briefly, patches welcome. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
