I love Deepin, and I really like Deepin 15, but...

there is no FlashPlayer Plugin that I can find; nothing in the Deepin Store.

Switching to Chromium browser, there is no Pepper Flash plugin in the Deepin Store.

There is no OpenJDK 7 or IcedTea plugin in the Deepin Store

There is no Ubuntu Restricted Extras in the Deepin Store (that usually has Flash, OpenJDK & IcedTea)

After searching through the Deepin wiki, and the forums, I did a bit of Googling and found this http://openjdk.java.net/install/ . sudo apt-get installopenjdk-7-jre works and installs but without the IcedTea plugin it doesn't do anything.

So, what do we do for FlashPlayer and Java in Deepin 15?

other pertinent info:
I'm using Deeping 15, 32 bit
browsers- Mozilla Firefox & Chromium downloaded from Deepin Store

Wow! I have to say I'm shocked, and disappointed...

I'll keep experimenting and researching

I did a sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin and it installed just fine. But chromium no longer supports java so have to use firefox.

Please don't forget that Deepin has changed its base in version 15. Now it's based on Debian.

Ah, I see now... with the correct nomenclature, then

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

installs the flash that chromium needs to run correctly.

Very good; thank you!

And, yes, I did notice that this is Debian based now.

With these little bridges crossed, I think this is going to be good

Apparently this

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

is NOT the way to go. Flashplayer is crashing on everything.

The flash in google chrome works best. I only use firefox for the java and pipelight.

I reinstalled Google Chrome and everything works fine in it... That's good news for now, but Google is dropping support for 32bit Chrome for Linux

Although, wait a minute... Deepin 15 is Debian-based now- Debian 8? So is it affected for us or not?

Cool, VERY cool.

This is ever so important; I try to spread the Linux love all over my town. I HAVE TO have a distro that is easy to use; and, unfortunately, it has to be able to handle Facebook games or people won't like it. I know Google Chrome will work with the silly little games on Facebook, and now that I see it IS supported for Debian jessie, I'm in the clear.

Reading through the Deepin wiki, I am seeing that I might be in err in running 32 bit versions on some of these machines I play with. I have been concerned in the past that just because the processor was 64 bit, what about the other hardware- is it 64 bit capable? I should save that for another post.

So, the results are in,
if you need Java & FlashPlayer functioning in your browser, USE GOOGLE CHROME, which is the default browser in Deepin 15 to begin with.

Thank to all who contributed to this thread!

I wonder if it would say that on Xubuntu 15.10 ?

I'm not sure. I try to stick with the Long Term Support. It seems that Ubuntu is already messing with 16 now.... That I don't understand; they are not even done with 15, now they are developing 16?!

Knowing that Chromium and flash won't work bums me a lot.  I prefer Chromium over Chrome any day.  I didn't know it made such a difference to be based on Ubuntu or Debian.  I probably won't be on this distro very long.
