No!!! I want to download chrome dev to get dev version of libpepperflash or whatever it is called now and add it to chromium.

Also DO pre "stable" channels add repository auto?*

If not what is the repository?

  • google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb if amd64 then replace i386 with amd64

  • You don't need to download Chrome to get pepper flash. There is a PPA (of which I don't have the link handy) which gives you pepper flash. Google for "pepper flash in chromium". Mar 5, 2014 at 18:08
  • can you post the latest one though from the latest chrome build?Im still looking but currently no results for that

  • You technically don't need the latest one; you just need Pepper Flash. Mar 5, 2014 at 18:31
  • New verisons are almost always better.

Warning
You want to install an edge plug-in. This answer is technically correct, but it will, in all probability, break packages that auto-install the pepper plug-in in chromium. So, use at the cost of putting your system in an inconsistent state.

Of course I assume you installed chromuim from dev channel

to install libpepperflash on chromium, open your terminal and write the following:

chromium-browser --ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=11.3.31.323

To always have the correct Flash Player version in Chromium:

open your profile

vi  ~/.profile

add this to the end:

export PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION=$(grep '"version":' /opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/manifest.json| grep -Po '(?<=version": ")(?:\d|\.)*')

Now open chromium settings:

sudo vi /etc/chromium-browser/default

And replace CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" with the following:

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=$PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION"

  • This answer doesn't state that you need to install Google Chrome first (which is a bad solution in my opinion just to use Chromium), nor is it entirely dynamic when Chrome is updated. Mar 5, 2014 at 18:33

Pepper Flash is available through a PPA for Precise, Quantal, Saucy, and Trusty (although Trusty will have this package in the default repos).

See https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash for installation instructions.

Short version of the instructions:

The following adds the PPA and installs the Pepper Flash Player:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer

Now, you need to tell Chromium to use this version of the Flash Player. To do that, open up /etc/chromium-browser/default (something like sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/default or sudo gedit /etc/chromium-browser/default), and on a new line at the end of the file, add the following line:

 /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh

Save and close the file, and run Chromium as normal. If you go to about:plugins, you should see it's using Flash 12.x.x.xx.

  • Yes. Well, I might be a day behind, like right now. I'll be uploading the new version in the next hour, and it should be available in about 5 hours. Mar 5, 2014 at 21:13
  • Wonderful! Do you know why the site chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel gives me chrome not chromium?
