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.

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.

[Dorset] Kubuntu - Chrome - Flash and NO sound
Has anybody else had similar problems and got it working? It's Kubuntu 14.04, Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120, Flash upgraded to Version:15.0.0.152, and it still doesn't make any sound when I try and play a you-tube video. I have got sound working because if I copy the URL to firefox, it does work.

Re: [Dorset] Kubuntu - Chrome - Flash and NO sound
Hi Peter, The instructions were to copy the libflashplayer.so into a directory, and the USR folder into a usr folder, and restart Chrome. But https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/108086?hl=en-GB says Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default. Available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates. and goes on to say how to enable/disable it. Do you normally install Flash from Adobe separately?

I think my next step is to un-install chrome, and then re-install it. I'll let you know.
