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. :)

Chrome does not support 32-bit systems. You can install Chromium.– Pilot6Jul 22, 2016 at 12:14

Yes, I tried with Chromium, with Firefox, with Opera... Flash doesn't work on either of them.– Cica MarkovićJul 22, 2016 at 12:47

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.

I get this: Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate Jul 22, 2016 at 14:11
