    Thank you very much! But I want to say that the ubuntu I have installed is 64bits system.So why the plugin file is not in lib64,it’s in lib?I install the .deb file before.And it was not OK.When I checked the files,I found that there’re plugin files in my lib64 file folder.I’m really don’t know why!

    An easier variant of this works on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot. I am always forgetting how to do this when I reinstall an Ubuntu flavor on any of my several computers, but I know it’s about flashplugin.

    On ocelot,
    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer just works. It downloads flashplugin itself and then seems to copy the .so to the correct directory. At any rate, that one-liner is ALL it takes. You just reopen chrome normally (the enable-plugins line is not needed anymore either) and it works.

    Worked! Thank you!

  14. deefactorial says:

    why not create a symbolic link instead of coping the file. that way when it gets updated chromium gets updated too!

  15. deefactorial says:

    ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

    When trying to get iso file to chrominium plugins I get massage, permission denied:( what to do?

  17. Frank says:

    Does not work

  18. Chacon says:

    I did everything.
    I’m using Mint 17 with the ‘adobe-flashplugin’ package.
    The flashplugin.so is a symbolic link at /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins;
    I also started the chromium as you said ‘chromium-browser –enable-plugins’ and replaced into the menu.
    But nothing happens. Even the chromium plugin list does not shows the plugin.
    Why?

  19. MARC says:

    Works for me.
    Very thank you!
    Although when i go to /tools/complements/ options of chromium the plugin adoble flash player don’t appear but is working.

    I get this: A Parser-blocking, cross-origin script, http://wwwimages.adobe.com/uber/js/atm/s_code_www.js, is invoked via document.write. This may be blocked by the browser if the device has poor network connectivity. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5718547946799104 for more details.
