Try

Re-Name the original libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.old

Copy the new one you downloaded into the location shown you. To help you know exactly even more on where to place the new one. Type in your browser search bar.

Hi...

It sounds like you missed a step or two. I would delete what you put into "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins" and start over again (but don't delete the folder.) I've had to install a standalone copy of Pepperflash for Chromium in the past myself, here's how you do it...

1. Go here and choose the correct architecture for your operating system, assuming your browser is the same architecture as the the OS. Choose the "FP 23 PPAPI" version and save it to a convenient location.

2. When the download is completed, extract both the "libpepflashplayer.so" and the "manifest.json" files to "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins." Or if you choose to extract the entire contents to a folder in the same directory where you downloaded the file to, just move the two files to the plugins folder. You will most likely need root privileges to do this. If you're running Ubuntu or one of it's derivatives, you can need open a root window by using the "gksudo" command plus whatever your file manager is. As an example, if you're using Lubuntu, the command would be...

Stay in the plugins folder for the next step...

3. Open the "manifest.json" file using a text editor (you can probably just double click on it) and find the version of flash player. It will most likely say: "version": "23.0.0.207" Don't change anything but remember the number you see or write it down. Close all windows.

4. Open another terminal window and run this command...

If you don't have "gedit" you can either install it or replace it with a text editor of your choice. Where it says "CHROMIUM_FLAGS," copy and paste the command below to where it looks exactly like it does below, except the version number, if it's different...

Be sure to save the changes and close the window.

5. Open Chromium and run...

as rokytnji mentioned. You should see Flash Player listed. If not, you may have missed something. Go back and check to make sure you did everything correctly.

6. If you do see Flash Player listed, your website should run correctly now. Let us know how it works or if you need additional help.

Disclaimer: Be careful with commands that are prefaced with "su" or "sudo." They will essentially allow root access to your system. Mistakes could possibly damage or even destroy your OS.

Some of the information I've given above is from Craig Gomez here.

I just download the latest google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb. then used ARK or File-Roller to extract it. then go to the data.tar.xz file. Extract that, then go like this. Look for the opt directory, then move that entire file structor into /opt - the opt directory in your home directory. This automatically setups up the one of the default search paths for pepperflash into your /opt directory. I know that this works for FireFox. install a flash wrapper too from your repo.

or I go to the abobie webpage when I see it telling me my flash is outdated. then download that in tar format then un-tar it and put it into my .mozzia/plugins folder in my home directory. that too works for me.

apt-get install pepperflash-nonfree has always worked for me. Am I missing something?

I do not think so. your repo just has pepperflash-nonfree in it. Mine does not. at least I don't think it does.

plus I do not add my nonefree repo address into my addresses.

Yeah, I assumed the original poster was using Ubuntu from the icon. I probably shouldn't do that.

Still, if that package is an option it is probably the best one, in my opinion.

Hi...

The problem is that, from looking through Adobe's EULA, I don't think the pepperflash-nonfree package falls within Adobe's requirements or stipulations, hence my solution.

Regards...

I am unable to find any evidence of this. Debian has provided the package for quite a while now, and is generally responsible about such things.

The package is a script which downloads the proprietary version of Chrome from Google and transplants flash into chromium. It's been a while since I first installed it, but I suspect it made me agree to the EULA when I did.

However, IANAL, and from what I can make of the "sublicensee" restrictions, you're violating the EULA if you sneeze.

You may be right. I was going on what it looked like it said to me and decided to err on the side on caution and safety.

Probably my main issue and why I don't think that the nonfree plugin is legal is under the same section you mentioned below (for those interested in some background information and the EULA, please see here and here)...

Honestly, unless I'm misunderstanding something, there is no way that the distributions that have a copy of the nonfree package in their repositories are (or even can) follow all of these requirements, unless this is referring to just Google. Either way, I don't know how Google or the various Linux distributions can get around the clause that forbids "distribution and copying."

That was my impression, too. Very restrictive.

Not that I have anything against Adobe or Flash Player but for this reason, I would like to see Lightspark become a viable and equal alternative to Flash Player.

Chromium has a builtin flash player called pepper-flash. Check if that is installed. It doesn't use the locally installed Flash Player. Firefox uses that, though.

Hi...

You're referring to Chrome, right? Chromium doesn't have Pepperflash installed by default, at least the copies available in the Ubuntu repositories, perhaps other distributions.
