Looks like the google chrome dev build on linux don't come with flash enabled by default. This has been preventing you from using it on linux ? Here is a little 3 commands process that get you the google chrome plays flash on ubuntu (on most of the flash enabled site) :
sudo mkdir -p /opt/google/chrome/plugins
sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins
Feel free to comment if you have more hacks to enable other plugins on google chrome linux dev builds, I'll update the post :-)
Nice , trick but , in the background :

Error !!
Ubuntu 9.04 2.6.28-13-generic
same ubuntu and kernel versions here.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your google chrome build version ? mine is 3.0.194.3.
Also I noted that even when not browsing sites with flash enabled sometimes the CPU is around 50% idle, so that is not really stable neither
The mplayer Plugin works well to with the same configurantion
ReplyDelete@Lucas : would be interested to have the steps to try out mplayer Plugin instead. can you paste them here ?
ReplyDeleteI had problems getting this working but then I realised I was using the 64-bit version of libflashplayer.so. I downloaded the 32-bit version from Adobe and now it's working. It doesn't display all Flash - it displays youtube.com but not a a whole lot more that I tested with. To see if the plugin is active type about:plugins in the browser bar. I notice in my terminal prompt that when I run google-chrome as sudo I get a lot less errors.
