I use Ubuntu 16.04 and my browser is Firefox 57.0.1

In some websites (like this site ), the error message below appears where it's supposed to be a flash object

enter image description here

I had already installed the Freashwrapper (pepper flash).

The original plugin file ( libfreshwrapper-flashplayer.so ) was located in the directory: /usr/lib/browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

I tried to solve the issue copying this file to : /usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so

But the error is still there. Can someone help me?

I solved this by typing this command :

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

hope this helps you.

If you are trying to load a 32 bit version of a library on a 64 bit system this will not work.

As far as I know, there is no 64 bit version of this library for either Linux or Android on ARM.

You can verify if the library matches your architecture using uname and file (on the library).

For me, it was quite easy. The steps are below (I made this procedure).

  1. Open your browser (any browser) and go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  2. Click on the drop-down menu and click on 'tar.gz for Linux' and click Download.

  3. Fire up the terminal and type sudo nautilus or any other file manager other than nautilus if you do have one.

  4. Go to your home directory and copy the 'libflashplayer.so' file.

  5. Go back to the filesystem and go to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin/. If you don't have the mozilla and the plugin folder, create one. This wouldn't do any harm.

  6. Paste the file in the plugin folder and restart your Firefox browser (i'm not sure about it's derivatives)

  7. There you go! Now flash should now work on Firefox (through it's going to discontinued).

I just installed adobe-flashplugin - as suggested by @dobey and @Gunnar - and it worked. I didn't remove freshwrapper / pepperflash

Thanks!

I got the same "Failed to Load Libpepflashplayer.so" today in my firefox (ESR 52.5.3 64bit on Ubuntu 16.04) when accessing vSphere web portal.


Fix:

0. close firefox

1. download Adobe Flashplayer tar.gz from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

2. extract

3. move the libpepflashplayser.so to your browser's plugin folder. Mine was /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

4. relaunched firefox, works!

Hope this helps. This site has been mad helpful to me.
