Flash player not present in Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bits

Question

Many problems with Chrome 64bits in Ubuntu 12.04 64-bits, is there any way to work with Chrome 32bits or fix that problem? Any ideas? I also noticed that chrome went so slow, 64bits problem?

Solution 1

The 64-bit Google Chrome for Ubuntu does not come with flash plugin. If you need the flash player, you can manually install it.

To install the flash plugin, you need to enable Canonical Partner repository. Follow the link for extended instructions on how to install Adobe flash player.

Solution 2

AS of version 21, google chrome 64bit contains pepper flash. Since pepper flash is at version 11.3.31.230 instead of the 11.2 version used for firefox and found in the repositories.I personally find the 11.3 version much more stable and usable.

To install, get the latest 64bit version https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/

Double clicking the .deb and opening in software centre will presumably fail due to dependencies.

Head to the terminal and install libxss1 so google chrome can install

sudo apt-get install libxss1

Presuming your downloads are downloaded to your download folder and you downloaded the 64bit version

cd Downloads

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Now start google chrome and visit a flash site and all should just simply work.

Is it not present (subject) or is it present but not working (problem text)? Which Google Chrome version? Google Chrome should come with its own Flash plugin.
