How do I get adobe flash working in Chrome or Chromium on Ringtail?
- by Matt H
I have recently upgraded to Ringtail and for some reason flash isn't working on either Chrome or Chromium. It works in firefox but I prefer Chrome as my browser so switching to firefox when a website containing flash appears is a bit annoying.
According to just about every source, flash it built into Chrome and should just work even on Ubuntu. I tried removing chrome and reinstalling it, but the problem persists.
I've checked about://plugins and flash is enabled. Yet when you visit http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
What I see is "No plugin available to display this content".
