[SOLVED] Failed to load “libpepflashplayer.so” Ubuntu 17

Flash player in my Mozilla Firefox show error message failed to load libpepflashplayer.so, in Ubuntu 17. I tried to install flash player from Software Center but failed. So I tried install from apt-get Ubuntu in terminal with this script :

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

After installation process finished, I try to open a website which has a flash player content, and it said error message above. Finally, I fixed this problem with this way (download from Adobe Website) :

  1. Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
  2. Set the Step 1 and Step 2 with your operating system, mine like this
  3. Download the PPAPI .tar.gz
  4. When download finished, extract it. You will see a file named libpepflashplayer.so, copy it into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
  5. Restart your Mozilla Firefox and reload the website. DONE.

Hope this will help you out guys 🙂
