Googe breaks Flash for Chrome and leaves Linux users in the lurch for the weekend
02/04/13
Linux Chrome users were jonesing for cat videos all weekened because someone at Chromium.org thought it would be a good idea to push a Pepper flash update at about 8 p.m. Eastern on a Friday afternoon. As can be seen on the Chromium issues page this had the effect of breaking flash for Linux Chrome users all weekend. A fix was supposed to have been pushed out and hour ago but it hasn't shown up here as of yet.
Unitl the fix propogates the least offensive way to fix the problem appears to be executing the command
chmod 000 ~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/11.5.31.138/
This is an excellent example of why you shouldn't push software updates on a Friday.
