flashplayer not working in Chromium

Question

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 got Package '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\*:

Does anybody know the answer to this question?

Solution

Your

installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree but got Package 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate

means you have some problems with repositories. This package is the only way to get flash in Chromium. Do it. Try changing repository mirrors.
