Flash in Fedora?

Brave Browser Desktop Support
1

Hi All,

Fedora 29, SIXTY FOUR bit
Brave Version 0.61.52 Chromium: 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Goggle is giving me too many conflicting hits on installing Flash in Brave. Would someone please point me to the proper How To for my version of Brave and Fedora 29?

Many thanks,
-T

I do have the following installed, but Brave does not seem to pick it up:

ls -al /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/PepperFlash/

@ToddAndMargo,
Can you tell or show me what you see when you go to a site that requires flash?

I see a puzzle piece and “This plugin is not supported”.

This is the web site:
https://login.trustwave.com/portal-core/home

Tested this on Windows and macOS (I know you’re using Fedora – testing this next) and I’m able to allow flash and access the website without issue. Can you show me what you see on your end? A screenshot or short screen recording would be helpful if possible.

If is helps the troubleshooting, this web site does not work in chromium-73.0.3683.75-2.fc29.x86_64 either

Does this help (flash disables)?

chrome://version/

Found a workaround:

$ brave-browser --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=32.0.0.114 --password-store=basic %U

Sound like this bug:

you don’t actually need the “–ppapi-flash-version=32.0.0.114”
