I've been going round and round in circles trying to implement the procedure I found here http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash as of course, none of the directories mentioned exist!

This document was last updated for Opera 11.00.

I dont know why help pages havent been updated.

I agree, I think they should update it, and everything that is here: http://www.opera.com/docs/. It's especially confusing when some pages are updated, like "history of Opera versions".

I've spoken to the documentation team, and they're working on updates for these pages. Sorry for the confusion in the mean time!

This (1) helped me.
In plugin page I saw afterward: "Shockwave Flash 99.999 r999"

(1) sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Opera version: 32.0.1910.0
Ubuntu 14

To update your pepperflashplugin type

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install --reinstall pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Then check, if you have the newest version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Simple sudo apt-get upgrade will not update it.

Thank you, I've been scratching my head for a while trying to get Flash to work on Opera 39 (Linux). The pepperflashplugin has to be reinstalled because during installation because the package is just a downloader/installer that runs a download script to download the latest version. For this reason the normal apt-get update/upgrade will not work, as it will not see an updated downloader.

Hi,
I'm struggling with flash on Opera 43.0.2442.806 (Ubuntu 16.04LTS). I've installed pepperflash-nonfree but Opera doesn't see anything in opera://plugins. I've tried to copy *.so to different locations (as you mentioned it here) but it didn't help. Any new suggestions? Cheers.
