Installing pepperflash - flashplayer 24 - for Chromium 32bit

[PCNetSpec]

[EDIT]

NO LONGER NECESSARY .. instead install adobe-flashplugin which contains both pepperflash and flashplayer .. see here:
https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,4802.msg53995.html#msg53995
for instructions

[END EDIT]


The following instructions are for 32bit Peppermint ONLY .. this pepperflash version will NOT work in 64bit Chromium.

If you're running 64bit Peppermint, use the instructions at the following link instead:-
https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,4893.0.html


Open a terminal and run these commands in sequence:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge pepperflashplugin-nonfree

then

Code: [Select]

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin

then

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin

then

Code: [Select]

sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/linux32/flash_player_ppapi_linux.i386.tar.gz

then

Code: [Select]

sudo tar xvf flash_player_ppapi_linux.i386.tar.gz

then

Code: [Select]

sudo pluma /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-adobe-pepflashplugin

and when a BLANK file opens, make it read:-

Code: [Select]

flashso="/usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so"
flashjson="/usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/manifest.json"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$(grep version $flashjson | sed 's|.*"version": ||;s|"||g;s|,||')"

SAVE that file, and exit pluma.

Now close ALL running instances of Chromium .. reopen Chromium, and go to:-
chrome://plugins
it should show you're running:-

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 24.0.0.xxx
Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
    Name:                Shockwave Flash
    Description:       Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
    Version:             24.0.0.xxx
    Location:            /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so

To UNDO

Open a terminal and run:

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -v /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-adobe-pepflashplugin

then

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rv /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin

then restart Chromium
