How do I install the latest flash player for Chromium and how to make sure Chromium has actually detected the plugin and using it ?
Your best bet would be to go to the Adobe site and follow instructions for Chromium. I'm not using Chromium for some time now, but that is how I've got it with Chromium.

Hi...
I'm assuming in this case you don't have any version of Pepperflash installed. While I can't guarantee it will work for you, you can try the solution I offered another member (who had the same issue) in post #2 here. This solution worked for me in getting Pepperflash installed and working, however, as the solution was for another distribution, it may or may not work for you.
Regards...

Reason: Correction/Added information.
In that bug report there are some solutions too. Might be worth checking. Personally, I gave up on flash in firefox and chromium and just use chrome when flash is really needed.
