So I installed new linux distro recently (pinguyOS) and now I am trying to install flash plugin for Opera browser: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
.
The output of dpkg --status flashplugin-installer
is:
The Adobe Flash Player plugin will work with a range of web-browsers including, limited to:
* Firefox
* Chromium
* SeaMonkey
* Iceweasel
* Iceape
* Galeon
* Epiphany
* Konqueror
Since Opera isn't listed I followed official instructions for installing Opera Adobe Flash Plugin:
http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/
I copied libflashplayer.so
from its original directory to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/opera/lib
. Flash player is still unable to load and when I check browser for installed plugins opera://plugins
it says Flash Player is enabled but there is this weird version of the plugin:
I use Opera v 39.0 and the official opera documentation is outdated (v11.0) but I even tried to install PPAPI version of flash plugin and replace libflashplayer.so
with libpepflashplayer.so
but plugin is still not working. It shows still the same error: Flash plugin failed to load.
Can you help me find out where the problem is please?
