Re: [Dorset] Kubuntu - Chrome - Flash and NO sound
First I've heard of that. I thought that Chromium was the fully Open Source version of Chrome with all the nasty Google tracking stuff removed. From Linux Insider: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/79510.html n general, though, people should choose Chrome or Chromium based on their use case, Shah advised. Since Chrome includes a few additional add-ons such as built-in Flash and a PDF viewer, most people find that it works well for them. "However, open-source developers may prefer Chromium," he concluded, "if they are often tinkering with source code or modifying their own distribution." - See more at: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/79510.html#sthash.5BEvVijR.dpuf repeat x times - See more at: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/79510.html#sthash.5BEvVijR.dpuf "However, open-source developers may prefer Chromium," he concluded, "if they are often tinkering with source code or modifying their own distribution." sorry about that.

I have Chromium as I've already said. I don't recall if I had to install Pepper Flash manually, but I certainly didn't install a PDF viewer. Both Flash (YouTube) and PDF files work fine. I think maybe that review is a bit out of date. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2014-10-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
