I agree with everything Niklas said. Two remarks: 1. I'm not sure it's a problem to have two versions of the Flash plugin, because one is the outdated NPAPI version:
> flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin (installed by adobe-flashplugin) and the other is the up-to-date PPAPI version wrapped by freshplayerplugin to look like a NPAPI plugin: > flash-mozilla.so -> /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so (installed by browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash) and I'm pretty sure that the browser uses the version with the highest version number. Still, it's messy. 2. Andrei Alin's version 0.3.6-1 of browser-plugin-freshplayer- pepperflash (ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8) fixes that issue: > browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash should use the same > alternatives-link as the official package but with an higher > priority, which would eliminate the compability issue. > Also the recommend of pepperflashplugin-nonfree should be > removed and solely recommend adobe-flashplugin instead. It does exactly that (thanks Andrei). However Ubuntu's version of browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash comes from Debian, and adobe- flashplugin isn't available in Debian, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any compatibility issue with adobe-flashplugin to be fixed in the original Debian package. I recommend using Andrei Alin's version of browser-plugin-freshplayer- pepperflash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633678 Title: Compability issue with adobe-flashplugin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freshplayerplugin/+bug/1633678/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
