[Lubuntu-desktop] Chromium & Flash
Hi gang, I know the chromium team are working on in-built flash support, until that happens and lubuntu ships it, can I pop on the instructions from http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-flash-support-for-google-chromium-browser.html over onto the wiki help area, i'm guessing 'Advanced Users' would be the place for it. First you need to make sure you have installed chromium browser Now you need to install flash using the following command sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree Now you need to copy libflashplayer.so file into /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins directory sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins Now you can run the chromium browser using the following command from terminal chromium-browser --enable-plugins to test it, to keep that setting, Go to the menu, select Internet --> and right click on Chromium Browser, select Properties and change where it says 'command' from chromium-browser %U to chromium-browser -- enable-plugins %U Regards, Phill. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Chromium & Flash
If for some reason Chromium doesn't pick up the copy of the plugin in the mozilla directory, maybe making a symbolic link would be a better option? That way any updates would automatically be applied to Chromium's version, and there's less disk wasted? --Bob On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 8:25 AM, Chow Loong Jin wrote: > On Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:19:17 +0100 > Andrew Woodhead wrote: > >> Just copy it to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins > > And run chromium-browser with --enable-plugins.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Chromium & Flash
That's how it is for me too, I just have to install the plugin and chromium picks it up automatically.
