I went to the download page and was given the option of 4 versions: APT, YUM. When I go to, it says that Flash is not installed. It also shows Chrome as my browser, not sure if this matters.Īfter this, I installed Firefox to see if that would work. When I go to and check if Flash is installed, it says that it is disabled.

Then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chromium. I also clicked on the little button icon and went into “Software & Updates” and accepted all of the “Downloadable from the Internet” options under “Ubuntu Software”.

Next I went to the start button, opened “Software” and ran all of the updates. I went into the Chromium Settings > Advanced > Site Settings and changed Flash to “Ask First”, then I clicked the padlock on the address bar, changed that to “Allow” and reloaded the page. I just recently installed Budgie on my laptop (Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS) and cannot get Flash to work. Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.soHi, I just wanted to follow up on this. I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well. This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.Īnother thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/ libflashplayer.so I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at, I just get the usual ' you need a plugin to view this content' thing.
