You can get the development linux version in a deb file directly from Google.

I use Chromium as my main browser. It's way better than Firefox.

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash plugin?

Anyone here got flash to work in chromium? i tried making a softlink to libflashplayer.so but to no avail? Do i need adobe flash installed or will the flashplugin that came with kubuntu suffice?

ls -l

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2009-08-12 11:34 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18000 2009-08-11 01:36 libnpapi_layout_test_plugin.so

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash plugin?

Works in mine. Here is how I did it. This is far Google Chrome. If you are using chromium-browser from the ppa, read replies below this one.

mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

then

cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

then

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

Then modify the command to start the program to:

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U

Flash is the only plugin I've tried so far. I will add some other plugins from my Firefox plugins later to see if they work.

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash plugin?

haha,

frm the command line i tried '/usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U' and VOILA i have flash support.
i edited the kmenu items accordingly.

Now how to get java working?

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash/Java plugin?

yes, my instructions are for Google Chrome, but you can easily modify them for chromium browse. The command is in /usr/bin and the files are in /usr/lib/chromium-browser. I have a very busy day today, if I get time later I will try to install Java and see if it works.

Hello

I'm starting to get crazy with this...

Well, I have done the commands Detonate said, but to create the folders I had to create them with kdesudo dolphin. After that:

nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U

(chromium-browser:4234): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: classe ELF errada: ELFCLASS64

nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U

nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$

And still no flash plugin...

marcopl, did it work in FF too??
One other thing that could help: I'm using 64bits version..

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash/Java plugin?

You don't have to use the mkdir command with chromium-browser, the plugins directory is already there. You only have to do that with Google Chrome.

To install the plugin in chromium-browser, the command should be:

cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins

Then do:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

Then start the browser with the command;

/usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins

Re: Chrome browser? Any PPA ? And Flash/Java plugin?

OK, that it's the spot. I now have flash working, but do I have to execute the command
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins all the time?

Or can it be automatic?
