[Solved] Opera, flashplugin not found

TheSaint · 2014-12-06 06:22:11

Hello,

I update Opera to version 26.0.1656.32 and when opening flash web pages it states no flashplugin found.

I don't know about setting the searching path, I put a symlink in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera and another in ~.config/opera.
I've added PDF viewer, but temporary disable, without any improvement.
There was similar situation with Konqueror, but giving it a new search now it's working.

I found an answer, but I wanted Opera and I have to install Crome

EDIT
I installed freshplayerplugin-git to enable the function.

You can use opera 12 :-)

Well, I update today, I assume it's the latest.
Where do I find the version 12 ?

See e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Opera
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opera-legacy/
opera 12 and 26 use different engines.

I thought you were proposing a new version, but this is rather a go back installation, isn't it ?

Yes, this is the old version that uses NPAPI for the flashplugin. You can play flash content using PPAPI-compatible plugins, like freshplayerplugin.
