** Description changed: Background: - I am behind a proxy with everything set up properly in network settings - Everytime there is a flashplugin update it fails to atomatically install through the update manager (separate bug *) - I manually install/update it by running "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" which works fine Bug description: - Even after having installed it manually an update notifier window pops up on each restart telling me it did not install properly. clicking "run this action now" does not install anything or stop the window from poping back up. - + Even after having installed it manually an update notifier window pops up on each restart telling me it did not install properly. clicking "run this action now" opens a terminal window which gets stuck at + "flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz"; + it also does not stop the window from poping back up on next boot. *= Though I am not sure which, there are several related bugs, some of which are fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/615786 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/556293 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/982684 I found none that is specific about update manager, should I file a new one? It obviously works with apt from the command line. #################### ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: update-notifier 0.119ubuntu8.5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-29.46-generic 3.2.24 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Aug 17 09:44:15 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/update-notifier InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120328) ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: update-notifier UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XsessionErrors: - (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to get edid: unable to get EDID for output - (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: unable to get EDID for xrandr-default: unable to get EDID for output - (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to reset xrandr-default gamma tables: gamma size is zero - (compiz:2294): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed + (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to get edid: unable to get EDID for output + (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: unable to get EDID for xrandr-default: unable to get EDID for output + (gnome-settings-daemon:2277): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to reset xrandr-default gamma tables: gamma size is zero + (compiz:2294): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed
