SOME CONTEXT
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux. Some day on the month of February(2013), the flash player plugin suddenly stopped working in the google-chrome web browser. I've noticed the glitch when I used some web pages as groveshark.com and youtube.com, they suggest me the use of HTML5 given the “lack” of a flash player plugin.
FACTS
The package flashplugin-nonfree was installed (yeah, i know about Gnash, but i still prefer the non-free version)
No system update were performed, so the problem was not caused by package conflicts.
FINDINGS
Given the facts above, the search begun, i found that Google Chrome uses his own flashplugin version (named flashpepperplugin), independent of the system installed version (flashplugin-nonfree for the Non-free case).
A way to check the plugins, is type chrome://plugins/ in the search/url bar of the browser, then activate the option “Details” (a + on the left-top corner) and allow a version to execute (system version 11.2 series, and chrome version 11.5 series. at February 2013). a Sensitive path is ~/.config/google-chrome/ the chrome plugin is located at the path PepperFlash
SOLVING THE PROBLEM
I think that the problem was that both flash versions available (system version 11.2 series, and chrome version 11.5 series. at February 2013) so I choose the system version as activated, and deactivated the chrome version. That made flash player plugin work fine.But, another solution is to use the Chromium browser instead of Google Chrome. That was the solution of my choice, not only solved the problem, I really feel tha Chromium is much faster with an efficient system resources consumption.
To install chromium, just use aptitude as root (su)
# aptitude install chromium
Or by any other package manager, look for chromium.
