  • How to install Flash on opera browser on Ubuntu 16.10

    1 answer



So I can't play flash videos on my 16.04 lts from most sites (imdb trailers for one), yet Youtube plays well (because it is html5 and not fĺash?).
I am confused as to if this is a flash problem or other, I have followed many flash tutorials yet it just won't work (except for youtube, that is).



Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

  • fyi: youtube dropped flash in 2015 as they switched to html5. I'm sorry I can't help as I don't use flash.

  • @wilh3lm: If it "does not work", please provide more details by editing your question. For instance, what's the result if you click the "Check Now" button on this page?

  • just a thought - does your cpu support PAE. Flash won't install on non-PAE cpus (on any OS) as it requires pae, and its message is somewhat vague & easily missed ('unsupported on this cpu' from memory). intel were selling non-pae cpu's into 2009 if not later for low-end netbooks etc sold in 2010....

  • It is a desktop computer, not so sure how to find out if it is PAE or not.

I changed from Opera Stable to Opera Beta then I could play videos (Twitter, BBC, etc). Also you could try just updating Opera as latest v51 came out a few days ago.
