How To install Adobe Flash on Google Chrome - Ubuntu 11.10 - 64-bit

Hello there,

Here's a quick post involving instructions/steps for installing Adobe Flash Player in Google Chrome for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Octeot. Google Chrome has inbuilt flash plugin now, but its only for 32-bit version of the browser, for 64-bit Google Chrome you must manually download and install flash into your Chrome.

• Download Adobe Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer 

Select Operating System  - Linux(64 bit)
and version Ubuntu(apt) or (tar.gz)

If you select apt your software center will automatically install Flash Player Plugin for Chrome
But in case if thats not working you can download tar.gz open it and follow the instructions as given below..

• Extract the libflashplayer.so file on your desktop 

• Now open your Terminal and type

sudo cp ./Desktop/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

If the "plugins" folder is absent you can create it by

sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins

Now restart the System, flash player should work now :)
