      I got Flash to work by cp'ing the libpepflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree into /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash. It's puzzling that the original flashplayer in Chrome's directory didn't work, though.

        Sorry, but the problem of flashplayer is not with Opera 24 Developer but Opera 12. Opera 12 does not use pepperflashplugin!
        This is not a Chromium related problem.

            They can're fix it because there isn't npapi flash player anymore for Linux.

              Opera 26 Linux 64 bit. Why does opera SUCK so much when it comes to flash? The new config menu thing also sucks.
              So many things right but the things that are wrong ruin the whole experience.
              Been using Opera for YEARS btw, but this may be the end. 💣

                @southoz Use Opera 12.16. And all is fine for you.

                  I use Opera 30.0.1835.59 and Linux Mint 17.1. Adobe flash plugin is not recognised and does not work in Opera! Very bad! I am thinking to switch to another browser!

                          So how come the "Help" pages haven't been updated?
                          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.
