I've rebooted a couple of times and that box hasn't popped up again, so maybe removing "sbsigntool" took care of it or simply running the install from the terminal possibly? If it does pop up again I will try uninstall/reinstall and then the other command if that doesn't work. But for now it appears to be resolved (fingers crossed).

Well it popped up again. This is what I got when I tried to uninstall and reinstall:

Nathan@ThinkPad-T400:~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer

Package flashplugin-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'flashplugin-installer' has no installation candidate


Since this is the installer, is it really necessary? Perhaps someone can point me to a website that uses the flash plugin to see if it is working for me...

Could you post a copy of your sources.list?

It is in etc/apt.

raring is dead..sooooo

Ugh, I keep forgetting that 3.8 is Raring.

SInce the sources don't work we can change them to Trusty or Saucy, the problem is, that if you run upgrade it could quite easily kill your system...or not..could jsut upgrade it, but it is iffy.

Technically the plugin should still be there, could test with a Flash Game

http://www.flash-game.net/game/6763/sna ... story.html

Otherwise you could open sources.list with a root editor(not the Ubuntu Updater) and replace saucy with trusty and then try again.

Afterwards, you could add # to the lines so they don't invoke Ubuntu Updater to bother you all the time.

If it works, it is easier just to remove the error provider as I gave you previously. All this does is kill the error.

For long term use it would be better to not use 3.8. I have raring (Diamond2bKDE)running on my Lenovo, but I built the distro so I know my way around it plus it is pretty packed to begin with. Also I run like...way too many systems(except Ultimate Edition..idk, it is always a problem, least for me since 3.6, and I use KDE, and Ultimate Edition KDE is terrible) Other than that I wouldn't touch it. Been down that road before, and even though I am more equipped to handle it, it really is a huge pain.

I ran the command you previously posted that gets rid of the error. Flash is working so that should take care of it (fingers crossed again).
