Nope, doing that did not enable flash for my browser, chrome. I use version 5.0.375.127

If the file at /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so is updated by apt-get, you would have to copy it again to get those updates.

Using a symlink avoids that problem.

Creating a symlink will work as well. Personally, I have copied the flash file over to the plugins folder and the files update still work properly. So I guess it worked both ways.

You should use a symlink instead of copying the files so updates work properly.

sorry, it actually works. I had used a 32-bit flash plugin, that's why it didn't work.

thank you for this great tutorial!

Try

sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
sudo cp /opt/google/chrome/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

and Restart Google Chrome

Just a quick note that the latest version of Chrome for Linux (beta) already support Flash by default, so there is no need to perform the above hack anymore.
