Chrome appears workaround for Adobe Flash is out of date

Recently used installed Ubuntu and Linux Mint, have found that Firefox flash although can use, but still feel a little bit of a problem, want to use Google Chrome, but helpless, after the installation of the use of flash can not be used to show that Adobe Flash is Out of date.

After a large number of online search information, and finally done, the following share my method:

First, install Chrome:

64-bit wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.debsudo Gdebi google-chrome-stable_ Current_amd64.deb     32-bit wget Https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.debsudo Gdebi Google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

Then to/home/your computer user name/.config/google-chrome/(Note that if you use the GUI instead of the command line, home/cong/is to press Ctrl+h to display the system files)

See if there's Pepperflash this directory,

Online Some netizens say, is in/opt/google/chrome/, I did not find

Then, if the inside is empty, it means that Chrome does not have a flash plugin.

We need to download Flash Player on official website at: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

But here's a little bit of explanation:

General browsers use NPAPI, Adobe Flash Player, but Chrome instead uses PPAPI, which is Pepperflash

We are going to download pepper this time, so we must use Chrome to visit Adobe's official website, because Adobe's official website download flash is automatically detect browser, if using Firefox, will automatically download NPAPI, this is not suitable for chrome.

after downloading, there is a libpepflashplayer.so file in the compressed package, which is Pepperflash copy this. So file to/home/your computer user name/.config/google-chrome/pepperflash this directory.

Then, when Chrome starts, it automatically associates the. So file, opening the terminal:

sudo vim/usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

On the 108 line of this profile, "exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable%u" after adding "--ppapi-flash-path=/home/your computer user name/.config/google-chrome /pepperflash/libpepflashplayer.so "

That becomes exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable%u--ppapi-flash-path=/home/your computer user name/.config/google-chrome/ Pepperflash/libpepflashplayer.so

There is a space in the middle to save the file.

This is to reopen Chrome, enter chrome://plugins/in the address bar

Make sure that the Flash component is turned on

Here, it's OK.
