    Question Chromium does not recognize flash after reboot

    Hello,
    I decided to get back to chromium from firefox. I've heard about the flash issue, so I installed the pepperflashplugin-nonfree and set it up. At first, chrome://flash displays pepperflash is installed and working and flash works. After I reboot my computer, flash is no longer recognized until I perform sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install, chrome://flash shows it is not installed and it is not usable in the browser. Have any idea why this occurs?

    Thank you for your time!

    After installing the flash plugin, do you have these files ?

    Solved the issue, found out that /etc/chromium-browser/default was overwritten by some script with another file in /usr/share, changed the source in there and voila, works like a charm.
    Thank you bapoumba, will mark this as solved.
