I have installed (2 days ago) Ubuntu on chromebook via crouton. I think it's 32 bit system. I can't get flash plugin to work, even though I installed it via Ubuntu software center (than deleted it and install it via terminal). I also tried pepper flash - it doesn't work. I tried installing Chrome browser (flash comes with it), but system doesn't let me. I need flash plugin for mixcloud, fb games etc. Any solutions to this? Simple solutions, I'm a Linux newbie. :)

You need to enable Ubuntu Partner repository first.

Go to System Settings -> Software @ Updates -> Other Software and enable Ubuntu Partner there.

An alternative way to add the Partner repository is to run in terminal:

 sudo add-apt-repository "deb archive.canonical.com $(lsb_release -sc) partner"

Then run in terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Now it has Pepper Flash too. I am using it on 32-bit Chromium.
