Adobe Flash Player Download Ubuntu
Jacque Finister
Hi I'd like to get flash player working on the latest Ubuntu under Chromium or Firefox. I've tried everything under the sun from Google search results to no avail. Is this still possible or is Flash for Linux completely dead? I've consulted here as well.
Also the /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree folder is empty when trying to copy libpepflashplayer.so to /snap/chromium/current/.local/lib for Flash for Chromium. When I try to enable flash via site settings in Chrome there is no option even though pepper flash is installed.
Flash player is completely dead for all operating systems as of 2021. This is also stated in the pepperflash documentation There are some alternatives, such as ruffle, but these do not have full support yet.
Even though I have the latest Adobe Flash player 11.2 for Linux in Firefox - ref: Flash player security doubts - a particular online flash game still requests that I update to the latest flash player.
To install the latest version of flash player search the Dash (in Ubuntu releases before 17.10) or the Show Applications dashboard (in Ubuntu 17.10 or later) for Software & Updates and open the Software & Updates window. Click the Other Software tab in the Software & Updates window, and put a check mark in the checkbox to the left of where it says: Canonical Partners.
Flash plugin for Linux provided by Adobe stopped at version 11.2. For Chrome/Chromium users there is Pepper Flash plugin, but it's not supported by Firefox/Iceweasel/other browsers. In Ubuntu 16.04 and later browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from the default Ubuntu repositories allows one to use the Pepper Flash plugin from Chrome in Firefox and any other web browser supporting NPAPI plugins. It works better than adobe-flashplugin in Firefox.
Also, you might want to run sudo pipelight-plugin --update from time to time, so that Pipelight will know to install an updated version of flash player. This both prevents Pipelight from trying to download plugins from dead links, and ensures said plugins stay up-to-date. Or, you can create a cron file to run the command automatically. To do this, run sudo bash -c 'echo -e \#\!"/bin/bash\n\npipelight-plugin --update" > /etc/cron.weekly/pipelight-update; chmod a+x /etc/cron.weekly/pipelight-update' This will allow your Pipelight's list of plugins to be updated weekly, although the actuall plugins won't be updated untill you start your NPAPI-based browser.
You can now run your Mozilla/Gecko browser (Firefox, Iceweasel or SeaMonkey) and then access the URL about:plugins in order to check if your browser has detected the flash plugin located at /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so (it should be also visible by accessing about:addons and then the Plugins section). If you see something like Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0, then go to in order to check if the flash applet detects your NPAPI flash install and tells you which version you're currently using.
You can now run your WebKit / Opera browser (only Opera versions prior to version 45), then access the URL about:plugins in order to check if your browser has detected the flash plugin located at /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so. Don't forget to click the Show details button (upper right) in order to expand the information fields and show extra info about each detected plugin. If you see something like Adobe Flash Player located at /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so, then go to just to make sure that the flash applet detects your PPAPI flash install and tells you which version you're currently using. If your browser is Opera version 45+ (version 45 or later), then the only way to check if the plugin is properly installed and functional is by accessing If the flash applet detects your PPAPI flash install, then flash is working on your Opera 45+ browser.
If you're using Google Chrome/Chromium, it already comes with its own bundled PPAPI Flash plugin located at /.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/some_version_number/libpepflashplayer.so. However, if videos aren't working with Google Chrome/Chromium when you're on Facebook, YouTube et cetera (you hear the audio, but doesn't see any video), then you're probably trying to watch HTML5 videos but your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) has a built-in rendering blacklist that's avoiding video acceleration required by HTML5.
I don't know how to proceed. It won't work on Facebook neither Chromium...From time to time it shows a yellow square with a "X" in it with following message instead of this above: "Failed to load libpepflashplayer.so".It's very annoying. How can I wipe all this players from my machine and begin from zero?
FlashArch Player is SWF player is a desktop application that leverages the Ruffle flash emulator to replace Adobe Flash Player. If you are using a modern operating system, you can run any flash without any security concerns.
