I have Pepper Flash Plugin installed, but it doesn't work on chromium and still every webpage prompts to install Adobe flash.
I removed and installed it again but nothing changed.
I'm sure it's installed because with attempt to new install get this message:
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
pepperflashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
Ps. This is how I removed the plugin before installing it again:
apt-get remove --purge pepperflashplugin-nonfree
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:

After this operation, 66.6 kB disk space will be freed.

Despite what was said on Ubuntu wiki and here to simply install flash on Chromium by
pepperflashplugin-nonfree
package; I was forced to manually copy the pepperflash plugin file from Google chrome to chromium in the way expounded here :Now I have Adobe Flash Player - Version: 16.0.0.291 on Chromium and it works fine. I don't know if I could get updates for flash on Chromium using this on Trminal:
Because it doesn't give anything on Terminal.
If you have any idea of how to keep the flash player updated on Chromium (without manually copying
.so
file eachtime a new version is released);Also about the reason of
pepperflashplugin-nonfree
didn't copy the plugin file in Chromium folder or didn't updateCHROMIUM_FLAGS=""
in/etc/chromium-browser/default
automtically, please let me know in comments.Thanks
