Re: Installing flash player into user's home dir. for chromium.

Chrome is the nonfree binary from Google and it includes Flash. But it is nonfree. Chromium is the free parts of Chrome and therefore does not include the nonfree Flash plugin. But Chromium may use plugins just the same as any other browser plugin. And therefore the free(dom) Chromium may make use of a nonfree Flash plugin. For Chromium and Iceweasel and others the nonfree Flash may be installed by installing the flashplugin-nonfree package. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Installing flash player into user's home dir. for chromium.
Hello, 2013/1/18 Patrick Bartek bartek...@yahoo.com From: Sthu Deus sthu.d...@gmail.com To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Check if the user home directory has a hidden .moziila/plugins directory. This is one of several defaults that browsers search for plugins. If not, add it, place the flash player plugin in it and see what happens. I've downloaded the .tar.gz player, finally I got: ~/.moziila/plugins/libflashplayer.so But chromium still asks for new version of FlashPlayer. This is a guess: Maybe, Chromium doesn't look there for plugins. Perhaps there is a way to tell Chromium where to look. I don't know. Check the user manual or contact the developer directly. I've always put plugins, regardless of the browser, in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for 32-bit systems and 32-bit plugins, or /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins for 64-bit systems and 64-bit plugins. Chrome has its own version of the Adobe Flash player. On my Fedora17 box it belongs to the google-chrome-stable package: $ locate flash | grep \.so$ | grep -v BAK /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libflashlo.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so $ rpm -qf /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so google-chrome-stable-24.0.1312.52-175374.i386 Regards, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Good time of the day. Thank You for Your time and answer. You wrote: Pure guessing from me, but I guess that this plugin directory will be located in a subfolder of .local/chromium or .chromium. Maybe you can also check in configuration if there is something like that. What do You think will be the full path?! - I did make dir.s and put there the lib: /.config/chromium/Default/plugins /.config/chromium/plugins neither worked.
