This is happening to me too, though flash is working in Rekonq.

edit: I can't remember using flash recently, so I would assume it was the update I installed wednesday that broke it.

Same problem for me too. It's working fine in firefox, It's not working in chrome.

This is an issue with Flash 11.5.31.138. Since 11.5.31.137 worked fine (and for me much better than 11.2.xx.xxx), and since 11.5.31.137 is probably still on your computer (under /opt/...), a better work-around is detailed at:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/is...tail?id=173790

Look at Message #31. Instead of deleting the ~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash directory, I just renamed it to PepperFlash2.

After restarting Chrome, under chrome://plugins you'll then see that Chrome is using Flash 11.5.31.137 -- and all is back to what it was before Google pushed out the update (and this is nothing anyone did, no regular updates -- it's a "push update" done by Google).

Just delete (or rename if you're paranoid/cautious) ~/.config/google-grome/PepperFlash/

Restart chrome.

Problem fixed.

No need to restart, just reload the page.
