I'm not sure why you can't reproduce this. Are you perhaps on a strange architecture, like ARM? It isn't necessary to have the partner repo enabled - installing the adobe-flashplugin package enables it. When I search for "flash" I get 24 more results, not 7. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

Alistair - we definitely don't want the behaviour your experiencing. In that regard I disagree with Omer. Hopefully your latest information will persuade him to change his mind. _However_, I cannot reproduce this bug - see the first paragraph in comment #3. Any ideas why?

After selecting "Adobe Flash plugin 10" the software centre first asks to enable the partner repo. Then it shows this bizarre error screen. @Omer: What it is actually showing is "flashplugin-installer" and "adobe-flashplugin:i386" - even on AMD64. As shown by the screenshot. After installing, I have adobe-flash-properties-gtk:i386 and adobe- flashplugin:i386, and flash does not work in the browser. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2011-10-10 07:58:42.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-applications/+bug/863745/+attachment/2534226/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-10-10%2007%3A58%3A42.png ** Changed in: unity-lens-applications (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: unity-lens-applications Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

I just tested this using amd64 daily image. During install: Selected "erase oneiric and reinstall." Neither "download updates" nor "install extra software" was selected. After install: Partner repo is not enabled. Searching for "flash" in the lens shows two items as described in the initial report. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2011-10-10 07:53:41.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-applications/+bug/863745/+attachment/2534167/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-10-10%2007%3A53%3A41.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

It turns out that I have the partner repo both enabled and disabled at the same time; that is, software centre has screwed up my sources.list. This has been reported as #871592. It would have been better to say that *I* did not enable the partner repo. I have reproduced this bug in a virtual machine on both 64 bit and 32 bit; in both cases I performed a fresh install only for the purposes of checking this. And in both cases I was presented with the two icons. Both times I used beta 2 install medium. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

I do not have the partner repo enabled. This bug is not invalid since only one of the icons will result in a flash plugin installation that actually works on x86_64. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

[Bug 863745] Re: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.
@Alistair - I've just checked this on Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 64bit. Uname is Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64. I do not have the canonical-partners repository enabled (the default). When following the steps in the first sentence of this bug's original description I only see one flash icon and subtitle (Adobe Flash plugin), even if I click "See 7 more results". This most closely resembles the first icon (on the left) in your screenshot (Adobe Flash plug-in). I do not see the second icon (on the right) in your screenshot (Adobe Flash Plugin 10). @ Omer - What causes the canonical-partners repository to become enabled? Does the user have to set it manually in Software Sources? Or can installing certain packages from the Software Centre enable it? When it is enabled, can we expose any additional information to the user to assist them to differentiate the two Flash packages and guide them as to which one to install? I presume installing both simultaneously will not be good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863745 Title: Searching for "flash" in the "applications for download" section of the dash gives confusing results.

One is flash-plugin installer the other is 'adobe-flasplugin' former downloads the plugin directly from adobe without the need to enable canonica-partners repo, the latter downloads from canonical-partners repository.
