Alas.this just doesn't work for me. I've installed flashplugin-installer this way and several other ways, and my flash pages still don't display.
The frustrating thing is that a couple of days ago they did display, but some update seems to have killed them. The disablement happened in two stages. First, I couldn't display pages from the Flash Media Server. Now I can't display any flash pages at all. It tells me to install the plugin, but after doing that I'm back at the same place.
Same for me. Working last week (using the method above), not working today.
Same problem.
Adobe flash has worked fine, but today it has disappeared from chrome://plugins/ Trying to install it again gives message "flashplugin-installer is already the newest version"
PepperFlush is still there. But this one fails totally on many websites, like eg. bloomberg.com/tv
remove the plugin then install it again. This worked for me.
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
