Nope. Not solved yet. I've created the new directory etc but it says 'permission denied' when I try copying it to the new directory. How do I get round that?
Bev.
If it isn't picking up the default location then you can create a plugins directory in /opt/google/chrome and put the libflashplayer.so file in there.
Then it should work
so sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins then sudo cp wherever/thefileis/now/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
