It's fixed with the package in proposed; from there you wouldn't get thrown offline due to the new policy preventing the use of wireless (or using a wired connection is also a good workaround).
To recover after a "failed" upgrade; you should be able to reboot the system safely and issue the following commands once booted: sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install The issue with flash appears to happens late enough during the upgrade process that the upgrade is already mostly done. The complications in testing this lie in the fact that you can't just proceed with the upgrade normally to test this package; one will need to change the sources.list file to point to oneiric manually, then use 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859373 Title: flashplugin-installer upgrade failed during Oneiric upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/859373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
