| alkisg | Hi, would it be possible for me to `apt source adobe-flashplugin` for the last non-transitional version somehow? I'd like to rebuild it while removing the time bomb, and publish it to an internal apt repository for Greek schools, but I can't find it in launchpad anymore | 05:46 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | alkisg: You mean like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/1:20201013.1-0ubuntu1 ? | 05:48 |
| alkisg | RAOF: exactly,except it says "deleted" on that page | 05:49 |
| RAOF | Huh! So it does! Sorry I didn't notice that. | 05:50 |
| RAOF | I've not seen that happen before? | 05:50 |
| alkisg | I guess it's a coordinated effort to make flash disappear from the internet, and that's a good thing, but it should be allowed somehow for internal usage, we have tons of educational packages that still use it... | 05:51 |
| alkisg | New ones are being written using HTML5, but the old ones are still useful in many primary and secondary school courses | 05:51 |
| RAOF | Are any of the free reimplementations sufficiently good for your purposes? | 05:52 |
| alkisg | I've tested ruffle, some of packages display a starting screen with it, but I haven't managed to properly run any of them | 05:55 |
| alkisg | I haven't tested any of the other reimplementations, e.g. gnash isn't really developed anymore, do you have anything else in mind? | 05:56 |
| RAOF | Mainly I've seen Ruffle, but I also remember one between gnash and ruffle. | 05:56 |
| RAOF | I can't remember its name, though! | 05:56 |
| alkisg | lightspark? | 05:57 |
| alkisg | Hrm sorry I'm dumb, they're still there, downloading... http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/ | 05:59 |
| jibel | JawnSmith, it's similar but don't remember if the symptoms are exactly the same. | 06:06 |
| alkisg | Great, the latest flash version, while removing the time bomb, runs everywhere from 12.04/i386 to 20.10/amd64 :) | 06:24 |
| RikMills | jibel: kubuntu ISO now starts ubiquity-dm, but what I did KDE side was a workaround and there is a 20+ second delay | 08:32 |
| RikMills | KDE devs say that ubiquity-dm really needs to do this for KDE as well: https://git.launchpad.net/ubiquity/tree/bin/ubiquity-dm#n501 | 08:33 |
| RikMills | i.e. call dbus-update-activation-environment like that | 08:34 |
| jibel | RikMills, can you propose a patch? | 08:35 |
| RikMills | jibel: perhaps, after doing a bit of reading what is being done there | 08:37 |
