After a series of updates, my chrome browser will not display flash content properly anymore. For example, if I go to speedtest.net I can see the speedtest applet but it's flickering funny colours and not loading correctly. Other flash websites don't load at all. Originally, I installed flash using the process described here. http://maketecheasier.com/enable-flash-support-in-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/2009/08/19 I tried reinstalling everything but the result is the same. Any ideas?

Solved it myself. One thing I didn't mention is that I'm on a 64bit version of linux. I think this is the issue. For Chromium in Ubuntu or Kubuntu linux, uninstall the package flashplugin-installer i.e. in a terminal window sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer sudo apt-get autoremove Then run sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins Then go here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ Download the 64bit version of adobe flash player "square". Copy the enclosed libflashplayer.so to /opt/google/chrome/plugins Restart chrome and it should be all go from there. | |||

Purge (completely remove) This downloads a new version of Flash player completely with updates etc automatically. No reboot needed. | ||||
