Flash problems

[raro]

ok, me again.

I have on almost every website (youtube works, I believe this is also Flash?) that has Flash the placeholder and a pop up comes up asking me to install the missing plugin. When I click on it, it says plugin not found.

This is in Opera, FF and Chrome.

Going to the Flash website and download the player, I get an error saying it is installed already.

Any idea what to do here?

Check if you can find pepper flash pluging to your linux variant / version.

root@phobos:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-cache search pepflash

pepflashplugin-installer - Adobe/Google Pepper Flash Player plugin installer

I'm getting it from here

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/skunk/pepper-flash/ubuntu saucy main

Raro just go to the Adobe website http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT and select "YUM for Linux" this will add the Adobe repo to your system, which means you get automatic all the bug and security fixes that will be released in the future. When you click on Yum for Linux you have to select open with software installer.....

If the flash player not automatically installs you need to open terminal and install flashplayer by "yum install flash-plugin" of course you need to be root or sudo to do this....

What I understood is that Adobe no longer support the default Flash plugin for Linux. Instead they support Google's pepper. http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/adobe-and-google-partnering-for-flash-player-on-linux.html

Download flash to your home directory. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Extract it with a right click.

Open a terminal and copy and paste below.

cd ~/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ && sudo -s rm -rf libflashplayer.so && cd ~ && sudo -s cp -r libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Should then work.
