Install Flash for Chromium on Debian

Published by arifur on

The package pepperflashplugin-nonfree downloads the Chrome for Linux Debian package (.deb) from Google and extracts the Flash PPAPI plugin (libpepflashplayer.so) to make it available to other browsers system-wide.

The package pepperflashplugin-nonfree is broken since Google changed the method of distribution of the Flash plugin with Chrome 54 for Linux; libpepflashplayer.so is not directly bundled in the Debian package anymore.

This is the reason you have to install Pepper Flash Plugin manually. Download the PAPI version of Flash player from here

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Copy libpepflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/

Now check sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status

You should see somthing like this

Flash Player version installed on this system  : 25.0.0.127
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 22.0.0.209
