I have recently installed lubuntu 16.04 .

In chromium, the flash player does not work . How can I install the best flash player for Chromium ?

Underneath two screenshots from Facebook, the first selecting the app "Riddle stones", the second with the error message :

Install the adobe-flashplugin package from the Partners repository.

Load up the Software & Updates application and from the Other Software tab check the Canonical Partners option.. then


sudo apt update

sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin

Please keep the font to the default properties, thanks.

The package adobe-flashplugin will install 2 version of flash, the NPAPI version that Firefox will use and also the PPAPI version that Chromium will use.

* New upstream releases

Sorry for the fonts.

I still do not have a working flash player in chromium, it still gives "couldn't load plugin", the second screen on my first post .

If you visit the page below, what version of flash does it say that you have ?
