This question is now obsolete since Chromium and its derivatives like Google Chrome use the more modern PPAPI Flash Player plug-in. It's built in to Chrome, but Chromium users need to rely on other solutions.
I being a developer want to use Flash version 10.1 or older on some of my Ubuntu machines. The problem is each time I run Google Chrome on this Lucid 64 bit machine (which is the only machine with me) I get a warning:
This flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date
As per instructions on these links:
- http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
- http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
then I tried at a command line:
google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins
But I still got the same warning. Is there a way I can use with an old version of flash plugin?
UPDATE 1
As per below suggestion I edited the hex value of one of the file
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/iceape/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/libvisual-0.4/morph/morph_flash.so
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/libflashlx.so
/usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/midbrowser/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/share/ubufox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
which was
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
From 10.1 to 10.2 but there was no effect.How do I find out which file is google-chrome using from above?
UPDATE 2 Following from lsof output I found
var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
is the flash plugin which google chrome is using and there I could not find the string Flash 10.1 as mentioned in reply below.
