Hi! Thanks for this information, but I use Hardy Heron and succesfully installed Chromium. When I give the “sudo ln -s ../../adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so” in Terminal, it writes me: “ln: “./libflashplayer.so” creating symbolic link: The file already exist.” But flash in webpages, like youtube can't work, Chromium browser says: “Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.”
Please help!

Hi Phoenixart, you can try to remove the existing libflashplayer.so file, then re-create the symbolic link to /adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
example:
sudo rm libflashplayer.so
sudo ln -s ../../adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

Hi, Thanks for the help! I just deleted the file libflashplayer.so, and do what you said, but after opening Chromium browser with youtube.com it wrote me this too:
“Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.”

1) check libflashplayer.so, see whether is in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
2) Open Chromium-browser> type “about:plugins” in URL address bar.
– if you see “No plug-ins are installed”, means plugins doesnt work for you, thats why flash is not working
Work around:
1) sudo vim /etc/chromium-browser/default
2) edit chromium flags to look like following
# Options to pass to chromium-browser
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=”–enable-plugins”
3) start chromium-browser and check “about:plugins”

The flash installer has changed again in ubuntu the link should now be :
sudo ln -s ../../flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
And the chromium flags have to enable plugins as mentioned below:
1) sudo vim /etc/chromium-browser/default
2) edit chromium flags to look like following
# Options to pass to chromium-browser
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=”–enable-plugins”

I am new to ubuntu so please bear with me. I can't understand the majority of the jargon. I was following the guide above after installing all that was needed. I got to where it says “sudo 1n -s ../../flashplugin-installer/libflashpler.so” and it says “ln : command not found” and i tried everything and it just keeps saying that. I am sure that I have not mispelled anything along the way and I would really like to be able to play videos like youtube. Please help.

Getting traffic to your china wholesale site during the weekends is no different wholesale china from methods commonly used to increase visitors to your site dvd during the weekdays. The key is to focus on hitting defensible traffic dvds sources for referral traffic, since these are dvd wholesale factors which you can control to a certain extent.
