This fix doesn't seem to work in Xenial 16.04. My terminal output: pluff@beta:~$ sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install --verbose [sudo] password for pluff: options : --install --verbose -- temporary directory: /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.WgoCKKNlvt doing apt-get update on google repository cleaning up temporary directory /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.WgoCKKNlvt ...

Do not know what caused that. Apparently (from what i understand) it requires google repos and no repos are available for xenial. is my understanding correct? or is there any other way to fix it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280141 Title: Latest chromium upgrade have broken pepperflashplugin detection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1280141/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
