Public bug reported:
Summary:
/etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-flash sets --ppapi-flash-version to
empty string.
I apologize if this is a poor description. See discussion section after
"Required information" for speculation.
Required information:
1. lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
2. apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin
adobe-flashplugin:
Installed: 1:20170509.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
Candidate: 1:20170509.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
Version table:
*** 1:20170509.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1 500
500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu zesty/partner amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3. Expectation: /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-flash sets
CHROMIUM_FLAGS with the appropriate flash version. For example:
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso
--ppapi-flash-version=25.171.0.whatever"
4. Actual result: CHROMIUM_FLAGS has flash version set to empty string.
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso
--ppapi-flash-version="
Discussion:
Ok, I'm not super familiar with Debian stuff, so I could be very very wrong. I
took a peek here:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/318983621/adobe-
flashplugin_20170509.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1.diff.gz
And I noticed that what I think is a build script fails to set
#PPAPI_VERSION#. When I leave this as is, it seems to disable flash on
chromium. As a workaround, I ended up doing what it looks like the
build script essentially does, just within the script itself:
diff ~/stage/etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-flash
/etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-flash
1a2
> version=$(python -c 'import sys, json; print json.load(sys.stdin)["version"]'
> < /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/manifest.json)
3c4
< CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso
--ppapi-flash-version="
---
> CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso
> --ppapi-flash-version=$version"
Anyway, hope this is useful. Thanks for the package!
