Install Flash plugin in Ubuntu

Posted under » Flash » Ubuntu on 28 September 2015

This work with 14.04 when I had problem installing flash with the Ubuntu Software Center. Follow these steps.

Dowload the flash plugin or ".tar.gz for other Linux" from Adobe here.

Extract the package and look for the "libflashplayer.so".

Copy and paste this file to "/usr/lib/flash-plugin". You may have to create the folder if it hasn't exist already.

chmod 775 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

make a link for browser plugin.

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so .
chmod 775 libflashplayer.so

Now, restart your Firefox or Chrome and flash should work
