Hi,

I've just installed Opera 39.0 on my laptop, on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Something is wrong with Adobe flash player when I go to Soundcloud or Mixcloud sites. But when I use Firefox, both sites work......

I read some instructions about a file called libflashplayer.so which I found finally and I was supposed to copy that file in a folder called /usr/lib/....opera/plugins (forgotname exactly now). There is no such folder !!

Then I went to the address opera://plugins but there is only a Chromium pdf viewer there !!

Where should I put that file, in which folder of Opera ???

I am not a specialist, just an user. Could please describe me step by step what to do.

Thanks,

Peter

Firefox and Opera use different types of plugins, the one for Firefox will not work with Opera. You need the one for Chromium, commonly called "pepperflash".

ok..... thank you. But where is this pepperflash, how do I install it and how can make Opera to find it. I forgot to add that I am on ubuntu 32 bit and as far as I know google do not make updates for 32 bit. I removed Chrome some time ago.

Older versions of Ubuntu listed pepperflash separately; newer versions will update both types of flash at the same time. Look in your package manager and see if you can find pepperflash-nonfree. If you can - that is it. If not, then reinstall Adobe flash.

I've similar problems as you said & solved by the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash . Hope it will solve your problems too .
