I am using Chromium Version 36.0.1985.125 on Ubuntu 12.04 . My flashplayer is working just fine in Firefox, but it is not working in chromium. I get the message "flashplayer upgrade required" when I try to play flash videos. Is there any solution to this?
I searched around this problem, and tried some solutions such as:
- reinstalling flashplayer
- updating packages
- installing from software center
- copying the flashplugin-alternative.so from firefox library to chromium library
- installing
pepperflashplugin-nonfree
but gotPackage 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate
- searching
pepperflash
in the software center and couldn't find it.
Here is the output of command dpkg -l \*flash\*
