Pipelight

failed to download wine flash player

Asked by M. George

[PIPELIGHT:LIN:flash] checking plugin installation - this might take some time.
[install-dependency] Downloading and running wine-flash-installer.
[install-dependency] ERROR: Downloading of wine-flash-installer failed multiple times. Please check:
[install-dependency]
[install-dependency] * that your internet connection is working properly
[install-dependency]
[install-dependency] * and that the plugin database is up-to-date. To update it just run:
[install-dependency] sudo pipelight-plugin --update
[install-dependency]
[install-dependency] If this doesn't help then most-likely the download URLs or checksums
[install-dependency] have changed. We recommend to open a bug-report in this case.
[install-dependency] ERROR: Download of wine-flash-installer failed.

My internet connection if fine, of course...

Any help please? THank you.

I cannot reproduce this issue here:

$ wget -O- http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/14.0.0.179/install_flash_player.exe | sha256sum
[...]

Did you run "sudo pipelight-plugin --update" to ensure your plugin database is up-to-date?
Does it work for you when you download with the command above or with a regular browser?

Regards,
Sebastian

My mistake, I've missed that, sorry. Now I get

Flash (as seen by a website)
Checking for Flash ...unsure
Your browser has different versions of Flash installed and may use a different plugin
You will most probably need to disable the other flash versions in your Browser

This is harmless, it just means that multiple flash versions are enabled. Usually pipelight flash should be the latest one and will be preferred by all websites. Normally everything should be ready to use. Did you already test if it works?

If you want to get rid of the unused Linux flash version, you can also uninstall it. Please note that disabling Linux flash in the firefox settings will not work - due to a bug in firefox it will disable all flash versions, including Pipelight flash.

Sebastian

I get the same error as posted at the beginning. The download link seems to not exist anymore.
I'm not sure how to solve the issue.
