I am getting the following errors when I play a YouTube video:

Failed to load "libpepflashplayer.so"
Freswrapper is a translation layer which needs PPAPI plugin backend. Ensure your system have "libpepflashplayer.so" available.

/opt/chromium/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/libpepflashplayer.so

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32-bit.

How do I correct the above errors?

You'll need to install the Pepper Flash plugin. Do so by running following commands in terminal:

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

and then

sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

See this post on WebUpd8 for more details.

  • I tried your commands but didn't worked. First command says its already newest version and second didn't print any log.

  • @Patrick, do you have a file named libpepflashplayer.so in any of the directories listed in the error log in your question ? What browser are you using ?

Google changed the key source. Try this, it worked for me.

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551

gpg --export --armor 1397BC53640DB551 | sudo sh -c 'cat >> /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/pubkey-google.txt'

sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
