UPDATE:

I reported this problem to Peppermint too. PCNetSpec said that Peppermint had a the same problem there "with Chromium not being able to correctly extract/report the pepperflash version, so it defaults to 99.999.999.999" He said, "That's not a functionality problem, just a reporting issue...."

We hope this link helps the team at Opera do something similar.

This link helps explain what Team Peppermint did to resolve this issue for Chromium browser.

Here are the contents of our /etc/chromium-browser/default:

part for pepperflashplugin-nonfree : begin

flashso="/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so"

if [ -f $flashso ]
then
flashversion=strings $flashso|grep ^LNX|sed -e "s/^LNX //"|sed -e "s/,/./g"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$flashversion"
fi

part for pepperflashplugin-nonfree : end

We hope our friends here at Opera will find this information helpful.

@stmor the package doesn't actually install Chrome; it downloads Chrome, takes the Flash plugin from there (it's in the Chrome package), then installs it.

Alternatively, you can also use the adobe-flashplugin package from the Ubuntu Partner repository (you have to enable this repo first), a package created by Adobe themselves. In newer versions of Ubuntu this package includes the 'Pepper' plugin that Opera needs.
