Starting from Ubuntu 14.04, Chromium will stop using Netscape Plugin API. The reason why this issue occurs only in Chromium is that until now Chromium used Netscape Plugin API for Flash support. ![]() For those who want to install the latest PPAPI Flash Player (so far it’s 23.0.0.185), you can download the source tarball from Adobe website and install it manually. Reason for flash player issue exclusively in Chromium There’s now a new Pepper flash installer available for Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 14.04, that installs PPAPI directly from adobe website. I have already shown you how to install Adobe flash player on Ubuntu. While you can easily play You Tube videos etc on other web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome etc, in Chromium you will see Adobe Flash player missing notice:Īdobe Flash Player is required to display some elements on this page. Normally, if you install Ubuntu Restricted Extras, Flash Player should be working and you should be able to watch online videos from websites like You Tube etc.īut this might not be the case with Chromium and Ubuntu combination. One of the first few things to do after installing Ubuntu 14.04 is to install Adobe Flash Player.
