[SOLVED] Both stable and unstable chromium-pepper-flash won't install

Hi all,
I just installed Chromium, but am unable to install Flash. It was recommended that I install pepper-flash rather than flashplugin, since the latter is deprecated. But there is a problem:
chromium-pepper-flash-stable won't install because the link to the package is invalid:
ERROR: Failure while downloading google-chrome-stable-31.0.1650.57-1.x86_64.rpm
chromium-pepper-flash won't install because the md5 checksum is invalid:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb ... FAILED
LICENSE.txt ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
This leaves me with three questions:
Does this happen often, or is it a freak coincidence that both recommended Flash packages are broken on the first day I start using Arch?
I can probably find the proper package file for chromium-pepper-flash-stable, but what is recommended practice for installing it (if I am in a hurry, or just impatient)? Should I hack the PKGBUILD file myself?
Should I flag these packages as out-of-date in AUR?
Thanks!

Yes, edit the PKGBUILD yourself. Both the link and the checksum.
Have a look at the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chro … mments=all Being broken is not an uncommon occurrence for this package.

[SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

I use chromium-pepper-flash and today there was an update, but the install script has errors.
Sorry for the locale, but summarized it said cat and sed didn't find a file.
Probably the chromium-pepper-flash.install cannot find the $_default as it says
[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-browser/default'
[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-dev/default'
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='etc/chromium/default'
Anyways the installation was successful.

Solved, must edit the path which is missing the first / like this
[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-browser/default'
^
[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-dev/default'
^
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium/default'
^

[solved] pacman -Syy and -Syu work, but packages won't install

Hello, everyone. I'm really new to Arch, but I did search all over Google and the forums and couldn't find an answer to this, so I thought I'd ask the forums.
I just installed Arch, and I'm trying to install sudo.
When I run pacman -S sudo, I get:
sudo package not found, searching for group...
error: 'sudo': not found in syncdb
However, when I run pacman -Syy, I get:
::Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
...(other similar errors from other mirrors)
core 4.1K 43.7K/s 00:00:00 [##########] 100%
...(same for extra and community)
(Sorry I didn't copy the entire output out, I'm not connected to the internet on the Arch computer, so I'm typing this by hand on another one. I tried a bunch of mirrors earlier, and only one mirror actually works: the Arch one, which as a download cap.)
So my package databases are getting updated, but somehow pacman isn't recognizing them or something.
I updated pacman to see if that would work.
pacman -V
Pacman v3.3.3 - libalpm v4.0.3
It didn't.
I'm running 2.6.33-ARCH according to lib/modules.
I haven't changed my etc/pacman.conf. [core] and its Include, [extra] and its Include, and [community] and its Include are all uncommented. No packages are ignored.
My etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist was updated from the Arch Mirror Generator. I uncommented everything in United States.
I have internet set up, and I've tried taking down wlan0 and putting it back up. iwconfig shows that wlan0 works and is connected, and I'm pinging google.com successfully, so I know internet works.
Thanks in advance for any help, and please let me know if I'm missing any information. I tried to be thorough.

Chromium pepper flash jagged image/controls/text when fullscreen

Hi. I'm testing the chromium pepper flash and it seems to be more responsive and more faster than regular flash player. I'm no longer affected by this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155503 issue too.
But there is an issue. When I go fullscreen, for example, in youtube, I get jagged text and picture. Just like this:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16222427/ARCH/ … 9%3A21.png
Maybe not the best example, because the artifacts are hard to see in this screenshot, but in motion it's pretty annoying especially in 720p+ videos. You can see that the font is jagged and the controls at the bottom look just like that. Anyone getting this too?
I've tried both packages that are in AUR. This occurs only when fullscreen.
I'm using XFCE, latest kernel from core repos, x86_64 and chromium from core repos. I tried chromium binary version from AUR and it didn't help.
Oh, and with regular flashplayer, it's fine, just a bit slower.
EDIT: this is a screen when watching 360p, looks even worse, looks like the picture is not stretched corectly.

Nobody? If it makes this more clear, that one could say that the image gets pixelated.

Chromium + pepper flash + pulseaudio = static/crackling noise.

With pulseaudio and chromium+pepper flash from the AUR I get static/crackling noise in the audio. If I disable pulse and just use alsa I don't receive any static/crackling noise... Is there any way to fix it?

Did you already play with the "tched=0 option" and the other pointers mentioned in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164959 ?

If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

Hi,
Firefox and IE uses different plugins of Flash Player but you can install both in your system.
Just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer from IE browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install ActiveX plugin of Flash Player which is used by IE
And if you go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ from Firefox browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install NPAPI plugin of Flash Player which is used by Firefox.
Hope it resolves your query.

Flash won't Install

Hi,
Flash Player will not install on my computer. I am so frustrated, I've spent hours on this and Abode's site is very confusing. I had Flash and all was well. Then one day I did not have Flash, I do not know why. So I've been trying to install again. I follow all the steps just fine and sure enough it all goes well and I'm told Flash has successfully installed. Nope. It's not there. I go to play things (as a test) that require Flash and it says I need to download Flash. I've downloaded Flash ad nauseum. It does not 'stick.' I do restart computer after each time.
I am using a MacBook Pro computer, OS version 10.7.5. I've followed the instructions on Adobe, etc... and it definitely downloads. It seems to install. It says at the end 'Installation complete.' But in the end..... nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Is something on my computer preventing this like Teflon? If so I would think I'd get a message saying so but all I'm getting is messages saying Flash has installed.

Thanks Pynkeye.
Yes, wish it were more obvious that 'allow plug-ins' needs to be checked. Here is the link where I learned this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html
I also followed this tutorial by Mike M. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5560631#5560631
Not sure if that Mike M. tutorial lead me to the first link -- that included advice to allow plug-ins -- but both mention that. I do know that the Mike M. clean install tutorial helped me properly uninstall Flash (as I'd downloaded it several times so I may've gunked up the works) and I'm afraid my own previous uninstall efforts may've lead me to delete some Photoshop things I should not have (I HOPE not!).
I will say that I am quite sure (99 Percent sure) that the regular step-by-step Flash install walk-thru (which you are linked to if you go to something that needs Flash to play and you do not have it) does not say to check to see if the allow plug-ins box is checked. And of course it should.

Flash won't install on yosemite 10.10.2 gets to 25%

HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

I have Parallels installed with Windows 7. Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

Adobe Flasher Won't Install

I've have tried everything I can think of to try to install
adobe flasher. I had it on this computer for a long time and now it
just won't install properly. Everytime i try to install it, it says
that I need to install the Active X. I then try to install Active
X, but I always get a note that tells me that the instalation
failed. I can't view certain pictures and video. I can't seem to
properly download the correct Active X control or there maybe
another problem. Thanks for any information.

The number one reason that the ActiveX installer fails to
install on IE are due to incorrect permissions in the system
registry. We have solved hundreds of these Windows system
permissions with Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Note: This is strictly for Windows IE, these issues do not
occur on other browsers such as Firefox.
www.firefox.com
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registy
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:

Flash won't install in IE after FakeAVG trojan

Help, please. My computer had a FakeAVG Trojan (detected by MalewareBytes) and now I cannot get Adobe Flash to properly install. The trojan was completely cleaned. I have tried multiple steps including using Adobe tools to uninstall and reinstall, both with download manager and manual. I am running Vista 64 bit, but IE is 32 bit. I have tried IE 7 and IE 8. Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X is showing in Programs and Features, but when I check the Add-ons in IE, the only Adobe product listed is PDF Link Helper, and it's disabled. I have looked at All Add-Ons and Run Without Permission. I have been able to install Adobe Flash Player in Safari and it works natively in Chrome, but I cannot figure out why it is not working in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

eidnolb, thanks for your response. I am using Avast (Free version) and it us fully updated. I have ran Malewarebytes on a full scan again, after finding the original trojan, and it found nothing. It did not correct the issue. Below is all I found in the log file. Although, the initial clean was performed with a version of SuperAntiSpyware Portable that allow me to run it from a flash drive. This cleaned it enough to allow me to install and run Malewarebytes. I don't think I have a log file from what it found.

Adobe Flash won't install on Mavericks?

About three days ago, Adobe Flash disappeared from my OsX (Mavericks) system. I have tried to reinstall it without success. I contacted Apple Support, paid them their $19 one-incident support fee, and they were NOT able to solve the problem either. I even disabled my anti virus sw (Norton) on a temporary basis. Still no joy. Any ideas w/b appreciated.

If Flash Player does install, it puts two items into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and adds a prefPane to System Preferences. Check those.If no go, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane, and let them deal with it, since it's a new machine.

Flash won't install (Mac)

I've tried absolutely everything and flash still won't install (latest mac software). It gets halfway through then an error message pops up. Any ideas? Anyone solved this one? It's driving me mad.

Flash won't install window 7 64 bit

I have had two days worth of headaches trying to fix this. I have the following
Windows 7 64 bit
IE 8
spyware doctor anti-virus
Apparently Adobe updated itself a couple of days ago, and Now I have this Flash Player problem. Everything worked fine until then.
I need some clear concise instuctions on how to fix this. I have tried the uninstall, and the reinstall and looked in the windows folder and tried to find the 32 bit IE somewhere on my computer and have found nothing.
So I've had it, I'm not happy, in fact I am down right mad. Please someone help fix this. Thank You

Hi, I understand you have the Win7/64bit/IE8. Firefox(FF) you say is working, which you installed Flash Player using the 32bit. Flash Player will install and has been installed and is being installed in Win7/64bit. But you can't use the 64bit browser to do so, neither in IE or FF or Chrome or any other browser that Flash Player supports.
If you got the prompt from Adobe Flash Player on your Desktop and it installed, did you Reboot(restart) after it was completed? Also, Using IE, go the the ALL manage add ons and look for Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...
Flash10e.ocx version 10.0.45.2 and make sure that it listed and it is Enabled. This Control works with your Flash files for IE. Just as the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in for FF does.
If you did not get the Flash Player prompt from Adobe and did an Install manually, then using IE you would have had to use the Adobe Uninstaller first. There are certain procedures and sometimes when Installing Flash Player, a Firewall, an Anti-Virus program, too high of security settings for IE will block the Install of the needed ActiveX Control.
If Firefox used ActiveX Controls as IE does, you would have had the same problem. FF uses plug-ins so there is a difference.
If you want to get Flash Player Installed successfully, then these variables need to be considered.
If no one with Win7/IE8/64bit systems were able to install Adobe Flash Player, then I would agree that Adobe needs to fix something. However, that is not the case.
There are many reasons that you were not successful, but blaming Adobe won't get FP installed.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

Flash Player won’t install after downloading
On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
Sincerely.
JWH
