[Discuss] [Fwd: Flash :-(]



I think I solved the problem.  I found a couple of unrelated issues so I
decided to reinstall Fedora 27. The mediacheck on the usb failed so I
verified my image, burned another USB and installed chrome. And this time
flash worked with my wife's laptop. I need to install some of her plugins
and do more testing, but I think something was corrupted.
