I know it’s a bit late but the the new code is

sudo cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/

Because the folder flashplugin-installer has changed to adobe-flashplugin.

Hope that helps:)

Nice,
However:
You mention Google Chrome but you are using Chromium. This may look as the same browser but it really isn’t.
Chromium is the opensource browser available on google code and Google Chrome is the one that Google distributes itself.
Chromium and Chrome are like how Sun StarOffice and the current known OpenOffice were.
OpenSource and Closed Source versions
Or like the OpenSuse and Suse Enterprise versions.

This is the reason that you have the package google-chrome and chromium-browser

I tried this on Ubuntu 11.04 and have run into a problem.

max@ubuntu: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/
cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so’: No such file or directory

any advice? I’m pretty new, so keep it simple for me if you can

I found out the hard way, after many trials, that trying to install that library on Kubuntu 11.04 using KpackageKit does not work. The solution is to use KPK to uninstall flash plugin nonfree, then use the terminal to install it.

I just installed thin in ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 (on an AcerOne 110L).

I soft-linked instead of copying, despite having read against it somewhere else.

Seems to work fine. At least http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
reports the latest version.

Thanks.

Fellow Ubuntu users:

If you’ve got google-chrome instead of chromium-browser, you probably have it in the path:

/opt/google/chrome/

– or search where is it with

whereis google-chrome

So, copy /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so to that path and that’s all!!!

Thanks to Wyatt Walter for the tip; it did work nicely!
