How do I make Chromium use Flash from Google Chrome?
THIS ANSWER IS 4 YRS OLD AND MAY NOT WORK ON NEWER SYSTEMS
Download Google Chrome and extract libpepflashplayer.so
from /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash
in the Chrome deb file
Copy libpepflashplayer.so
to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
Make the necessary changes to the Chromium startup
sudo gedit /etc/chromium-browser/default
Add this to the CHROMIUM_FLAGS
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=11.5.31.2"
You can get the correct version of the flash plugin from the "version":
json tag in the mainfest.json
from /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash
in the Chrome deb file
pepperflashplugin-nonfree
is deprecated on 05/2015. They do not work for Chrome 53 and higher. You can see Getting-Flash.
Ubuntu Wiki also "recommended" you to install adobe-flashplugin
. Then we install adobe-flashplugin
.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Then you should restart your browser and open chrome://plugins/
. If you don't see Adobe Flash Player there, you can run the following commands.
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
sudo apt-get upgrade
It will upgrade adobe-flashplugin
for chromium or if you use chrome, do it the same way.
These instructions will install Pepper flash player for Chromium in Ubuntu 14.04 and later releases, and it will also be updated automatically. Because Google ended support for Chrome on 32-bit Linux in March, 2016, Pepper flash player can only be installed for 64-bit versions of Chromium.
To install flash player in Chromium web browser search the Dash for Software & Updates and open the Software & Updates window. Click the Other Software tab in the Software & Updates window and put a check mark in the checkbox to the left of where it says: Canonical Partners.
Click the Close button to close the Software & Updates window.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt remove pepperflashplugin-nonfree # remove pepperflashplugin-nonfree if it's installed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
