I'm following below instructions Chromium 34 and later cannot detect flash plugin But in some Youtube videos I got The adobe flash player is required for video playback and some website show the same error. I've installed latest update of Chromium and Ubuntu and Flash player.

I run sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree then sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install (after I run it, have no echo), Then I run sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status (No answer again), additionally When I go to chrome://plugins

  • The package pepflashplugin-installer does not exist, its name is pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Also, the file /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh does not exist. What version of Ubuntu are you using? – enzotib Oct 10 '14 at 08:39
  • @enzotib Thanks for your attention. I'm using latest version 14.04 – Daniyal Javani Oct 10 '14 at 14:34

  • @enzotib sorry again! Could you please help me more? I run sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree then sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install (after I run it, have no echo), Then I run sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status (No answer again), additionally When I go to chrome://plugins There is no any flash plugin. – Daniyal Javani Oct 13 '14 at 08:09
  • If the first two commands didn't work, then something went wrong. Can you run sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install --verbose? – saiarcot895 Oct 15 '14 at 15:54
  • @saiarcot895 Thanks for your attention. The result is: options : --install --verbose -- temporary directory: /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.hpZvYvMrgp doing apt-get update on google repository – Daniyal Javani Oct 15 '14 at 19:33
  • Sorry for the delay. My guess is that it can't contact the Google repository for some reason. – saiarcot895 Oct 17 '14 at 03:19

you need to install pepperflash for chromium now because it no longer accepts Netscape like plug-ins (the Firefox flash plug-in)

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Restart chromium after installation for the changes to take effect.

Chromium does not support flash at all anymore. If you want to use flash content, you need to use another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Google Chrome has flash support built in, while Firefox requires the package flashplugin-installer to be installed to work.

Pepperflash does in my experience work sometimes, but not always.
