      Hello, I have installed opera 28 but can't make flash player running on it. I tried the manual

      http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash

      First option seems obsolete since there are no such settings to chose from second option doesn't work either since there is no such a path. I have checked the info and the given paths there, but I still couldn't find the plugin path.

      Version: 28.0.1750.40 - Opera is up to date
      Update stream: Stable

      System: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (x86_64; XFCE)
      Browser identification

      Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.76 Safari/537.36 OPR/28.0.1750.40

      Paths

      Install: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera
      Profile: /home/namal/.config/opera
      Cache: /home/namal/.cache/opera

        In a terminal type:

        sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer pepperflashplugin-nonfree

        Good luck! 😃

                Hi namal23:
                Could you please describe how you solve this problem in more detail?
                I met the same problem and cannot figure out how to handle the flash player for a while.

                I installed papperflashplugin on my ubuntu, but the flash player still didn't work with opera (it does work with chromium..).
