I'm trying to get flash for chromium on ubuntu 12.04, but when i try to install it from terminal sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer I get dialog with error

Failure to download extra data files

The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed.

pepflashplugin-installer

The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

Clicking run this action now doesn't help because it just fails and opens the dialog again.

and it is not possible to proceed with sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install because "command not found".

  • Can you run it with --verbose? Therefore sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install --verbose Please paste output f this command here Mar 18, 2015 at 19:26
  • "command not found" again. There is problem with downloading the installer itself (or the extra data to be specific).

I tried to re-install today with sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer and suddenly installation was successful.
