chrome browser for linux now with flash
July 14, 2009
OK I just found out this nice blog that teaches me how to activate flash in chrome for linux.
to install chrome for linux then do this
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main #chromium-browser" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chromium.list
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
then you have to locate libflashplayer.so in your computer using this command
locate libflashplayer.so
it will present the output like this
root@yucie-desktop:~# locate libflashplayer.so
/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
so I choose the ones that read /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
then do this
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
after you had change into the directory then do this
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
after that start chrome browser for linux using this command
chromium-browser --enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions
with flash installed now you can open detik.com and watch youtube videos or redtube videos. hehehe….:-)
