flashplugin installer works for firefox but not chromium-browser
- by user829755
I'm on Ubuntu precise (12.04.5 LTS) and I do have flashplugin-installer installed.
When I click on flash videos in chromium-browser I get "An error occurred, please try again later". In firefox they display fine.
I opened chrome://plugins to see if the flash plugin is installed and indeed it's not listed. Also http://www.codegeek.net/flash-version.php displays: "You do not have Flash player installed", while with firefox it says: You have Flash player 11.2.202 installed.
Following some instructions on some ubuntu page I copied the plugin using sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ and I started chromium using chromium-browser --enable-plugins but this didn't help.
chrome://chrome/ says: Version 36.0.1985.125 Ubuntu 12.04 (283153).
what else can I try?
