Flash not working in Chrome [Solved]

[dsonenberg]

I know that flash is supposed to work on of the box with Chrome, but at some point it stopped working on my install and I can't seem to get it back. I believe the flash library is supposed to be installed with the package but for some reason mine doesn't have it. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as trying the package through KPackage and directly from Google. Any ideas?

Re: Flash not working in Chrome

What is inside this folder

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

It should be "libflashplayer.so". If not go to Adobe and download it then copy the file to the folder above.

Re: Flash not working in Chrome

you should be able to install the flashplugin using the command

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

be sure you have no browsers open when u run it .

Re: Flash not working in Chrome

Thanks, that did the trick. I'm still confused though, I thought Google was bundling flash with the Chrome browser.
