[Bug 199460] Re: Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy
I ran into this today when going to youtube in Firefox on Kubuntu after installing from the 20080417.1 daily build. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Fix Released = Confirmed ** Description changed: + LATEST ISO TESTED: + 20080417.1 + Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 When visiting a site such as youtube Firefox informs me I don't have the capability to play flash and therefore to install a plugin. The installation always fails and directs me to a manual install. This problem occurred after an upgrade from gutsy to hardy using update manager -d. Firefox 2, which I used in gutsy was able to play flash without a problem. Reinstalling plugins from Synaptic had no effect. After accepting the adobe agreement it downloads the file then displays the error message : Malformed File Firefox could not install this item because install-erz..rdf (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist.

This seems specific to Kubuntu not having ubufox installed.

[Bug 199460] Re: Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy
this is because ubufox isn't installed. in consequence you try to install flash through the package hosted by adobe, which uses bloody old mechanisms that are not supported in ffox 3 anymore. so its not even a firefox upstream bug. Most likely adobe will fix this at some point. press thumbs. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199460 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

... so the solution for now is: install ubufox ... or install flash manually through apt-get or the adept. -- Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199460 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

I just tried it and I couldn't install the plugin from Firefox 3.0 in Hardy. However, I could install flashplugin-nonfree from command line, and after restarting Firefox 3.0, I could use it Flash. In Gutsy, where Firefox 3 is a secondary browser, it can't play flash, even if flashplugin-nonfree is installed. -- Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199460 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
