    Flash not working in Chrome after 14.04 upgrade

    Greetings,

    I just upgraded to 14.04 and discovered that Flash is not working in Chrome (it was working flawlessly in 13.10). Chrome says it's not installed (http://chrome://flash/):

    About Flash

    Chromium 34.0.1847.116 (Ubuntu 14.04 aura)
    OS Linux
    Flash plugin Not installed

    However, from command line, I see:

    footer@kubuntu64:~$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    flashplugin-installer is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded

    The version of flash I have installed is the latest: adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.350

    I've tried reinstalling (sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer) and also removing and installing, restarted Chrome, etc. Still no go!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Chromium is a different package than Chrome from the Google repository.

    Maybe you need to install pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Pepper is part of the Chrome install:

    Code:
    About Flash
    Google Chrome	34.0.1847.132 ()
    OS	Linux
    Flash plugin	13.0.0.206 /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
    Flash plugin	11.2 r202 /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so (not used)

      That did the trick! Thanks so much for the prompt response. Flash is now working flawlessly under 14.04! Didn't realize the difference between Chrome / Chromium. Thanks again!!
