How can I install the flash player for Chromium in Ubuntu 16.04?

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to install the adobe flashplayer for Chromium in Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks

Solution 1

Be sure to enable the Canonical partners repository then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin

Solution 2

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

works for chromium and firefox

just enabled the 3rd part canonical, but it is not there.

There is no 'Canonical partners' repo on 16.04 (fresh install).

Can you confirm that you're on 16.04?

It does in fact not work at the moment. Installing 3rd party applications in 16.04 is broken at the moment. This is a bug that should be fixed in the coming days. A bad alternative is to install chrome, it includes flash

For now (October 2016, Ubuntu 16.04) I added canonical partner, installed adobe-flashplugin but I go in some pages who need flash, e.g. pond5.com (to edit a clip) and I see "Get the Flash Player to see this clip..." so it doesn't work I mean Chromium doesn't seem to have it, even if I just installed it. I restarted computer and browser, still same text telling to get flash player... any ideas?

Thanks so much, after a long journey I ended up here. Kubuntu had given me the flashplugin-installer instead, which does not work.

Additionally, I had to go to chrome://plugins and check always allow execution for the Adobe Flash Player plugin, otherwise some website would consider it is not installed.

chrome://plugins gives "This site can’t be reached" error.
