Goto the Adobe flashplayer installer page using the Chromium webbrowser. On the Adobe page select: “Linux (32-bit)” or “Linux (64-bit)” in the first selectionbox depending on the 32 or 64 bit of Linux Mint you have installed On the Adobe page select:

On the Adobe page click on the yellow “Download Now” button Log in as root in a terminal (commandline) and execute the following commands:

mkdir /tmp/flashplayer

Replace i386 with x86_64 if applicable:

mv /home/yourusername/Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz /tmp/flashplayer
cd /mnt/flashplayer

Replace i386 with x86_64 if applicable:

gzip -d install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz

Replace i386 with x86_64 if applicable:

tar -xf install_flash_player_11_linux.I386.tar
cp libflashplayer.so /opt/mint-flashplugin-11/
  • Restart Chromium
  • Now Chromium should not complain anymore about an old version of the flashplayer.

You are ready.
