Adobe Flash Player


I have ubuntu 16.04 and after several updates I am no longer able to view content that requires Adobe Flash Player. It worked previously but I don't know what happened to it. I read that the Chrome browser had flash player I tried it and it doesn't work either.

Hi...

If you prefer keeping 11.2, you could try reinstalling the "flashplugin-installer" package in Synaptic (package manager.)

However, the fact that this is happening with Chrome, which uses the Pepper version of Flash, suggests there might be another problem that has nothing to do with Flash but is affecting it. What updates did you install and are there any error messages when you try to play Flash content?

Also, please open a terminal and post the results of the following command...

Code:
lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A 12
Regards...
