I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and I have tried multiple explanations on here but none of them seem to work. I tried out one and figured out it was for Opera and not Chromium and the one on Chromium was outdated and pepperflash couldn't be found because of a 404 error.

I installed adobe and restarted, then I checked my plugins and only the PDF file viewer is there, no flash plugin.

Chromium plug-in page

Thanks in advance for the help and this is for Chromium Web Browser.

$ apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin
adobe-flashplugin:

    Possible duplicate of How do I install Adobe Flash player?. Yes, it's old but adobe-flashplugin now includes Pepper Flash and configuration files for Chromium to pick it up. – David Foerster Sep 08 '16 at 18:48
  • @DavidFoerster I did that earlier and it didn't work. I'm not using Firefox – timmyspan Sep 08 '16 at 19:25
  • It works for Chromium too. It's the exact set-up I'm using. I made no modifications to it. If you provide the output of apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin and dpkg-query -L adobe-flashplugin, the content of /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-flash and a screenshot of the page with the address chrome://plugins from inside Chromium, I might be able to figure out what's different or wrong with your set-up. – David Foerster Sep 08 '16 at 21:13
  • @DavidFoerster http://i63.tinypic.com/23uyhoo.png http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=md396t&s=9#.V9HhYh-i48o http://i67.tinypic.com/md396t.png http://i65.tinypic.com/2wp2ot0.png Okay now for some reason in the last screenshot Flash is now there but it was unchecked, screenshot is after i checked it and ran a flash program. The program worked. Not sure what changed after those commands I ran but any idea why the 3rd command wouldn't work? Is that an issue? – timmyspan Sep 08 '16 at 22:07
  • The output of chromium & { sleep 1; tr '\0' ' ' < /proc/$!/cmdline; echo; } could be helpful too. – David Foerster Sep 08 '16 at 22:37
  • @DavidFoerster alright I got a lot of replies lol. 1. How do I share the .txt files with you? 2. The chromium line of code said. code [1] 4878 chromium: command not found [1]+ Exit 127 chromium 0: command not found bash: /proc/4878/cmdline: No such file or directory code – timmyspan Sep 08 '16 at 23:21
  • When I asked for the output of a command most recently, that should have been chromium-browser & { sleep 1; tr '\0' ' ' < /proc/$!/cmdline; echo; }. That was a copy&paste mistake on my end. I could also use the output of file -L /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so. – David Foerster Sep 09 '16 at 07:08
  • @DavidFoerster Alright well, I try to output the chromium-browser to a .txt file but the file is blank and the terminal shows the output. Same with the dpkg-query – timmyspan Sep 09 '16 at 15:11
  • @DavidFoerster do you get a notification when I edit? I got it to work with sudo in front of the command. I shared the file in the OP – timmyspan Sep 09 '16 at 17:56
  • No, edits don't incur notifications. Only comments do. Thanks for all the info. So far so good. Could you please put file or program output listings either directly into your question or use a hoster that doesn't require me to give them my e-mail address? Any pastie service like https://paste.ubuntu.com/ should be fine. What's the output of chromium-browser when you start it in a terminal? – David Foerster Sep 09 '16 at 18:02
  • @DavidFoerster okay I updated with a new file using paste.ubuntu.com – timmyspan Sep 09 '16 at 18:12
