I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and would like to use Adobe flash in Chromium (or Chrome). How can I do this? If not possible, what linux software is available that will work with flash files?

  • google chrome have an integrated flashplugin (latest version), chromium is using default flashplayer from the system (old version), http://askubuntu.com/questions/341428/how-to-install-flash-player-on-ubuntu – Rodislav Moldovan Apr 05 '14 at 16:17
  • chrome is using pepper plugin to play flash recently, it's embedded in chrome. If you want to use it in chromium check out this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/424322/how-can-i-install-pepper-plugin-into-chromium-that-is-running-from-compiled-src – kenn Apr 05 '14 at 16:31

    This is not a duplicate because Chromium needs pepper flash and not the old flash plugin which is the subject of the other question. – mniess May 29 '14 at 17:20

You won't need to install Adobe Flash if you install Google Chrome, it has an integrated flashplugin:

The Google Chrome browser (32 bit) includes Adobe Flash Player built-in. Accordingly, it's not necessary for Chrome to download Flash Player separately.

    Google Chrome and Chromium are different browsers (with the same code base though). The former has Flash integrated, the latter doesn't. – kravietz May 24 '16 at 08:02

The next working fine for me in UbuntuStudio 16.04 64 bits (the above not working)

I copy and paste from:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash

"As of 2015-05, the old "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" is deprecated in favor of an official, maintained, one-step package called adobe-flashplugin, which works for Firefox and Chromium and derivatives, but not for Yandex.Browser 46.0.2490.3623 beta (64-bit version) on November 2015. No terminals, no multiverse.

Add the Canonical Partners software source, and install adobe-flashplugin. See Chromium/Getting-Partner-Flash. Chromium/Getting-Flash
