Chrome browser and flash

vinoman · #1 5th January 2010, 02:23 PM

I just installed Google Chrome and I see that it needs some program to make flash work in Chrome?

I'm running F12 64 bit and flash works in Firefox.

I installed it too, flash works great with mine, (32 bit version) I just don't like it. Should make the Windows users happy, but Firefox has been my choice for many years, and Mozilla before that.

I ran into the same exact problem. I got it working now, I wrote a blog post on it.

so I looks like its a 64 bit problem. And now with the newer version of Gnome you can't edit the menus! Why?

I'll stick with Firefox.

On one install I added Google Chrome from list link:
http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.ht...&utm_medium=ha
It automatically set up the repo, flash is working, no problems so far. I use 32 bit, could this problem just be a 64 bit problem? Or a method of install problem. I haven't tried it on my 64 bit install yet.

ok, problem with 64? I'm still using FF but I must say, very impressed with Chrome so far.

Not just for 64 bit. I'm running Fedora 12 KDE PAE w/Nouveau driver and until today Youtube playback on Google Chrome was flawless.

Now the video won't show, but the sound does play back. I've discovered that when I push the "pop out" button on youtube, I can see video and hear sound but otherwise embedded video simply does not show anything but sound. Sometimes it comes back by itself, but that's only one out of 15 times.

No problems whatsoever in Firefox.

This is the second update on Fedora 12 that breaks something really badly (first one being pulseaudio-libs-glib2 breaking amarok/phonon/skype). Help!

EDIT: Video magically appears once screen inside frame is SCROLLED up or down. An annoying bug easily worked around, but annoying nonetheless.

after I locate

$ locate libflashplayer

then what?

can't find flashplayer for Chrome 64 bit. Can I install the 32 bit version of Chrome?

does anybody know how to get flash to work in Chrome 64 bit?

or I'll just be happy with Firefox and leave it at that.

I hope one day there's video without flash! I heard that html 5 may be the answer some day.

I had flash installed using the sticky guide in the 64 bit forum. When I installed Chrome it was recognised and worked.

Do you have the link to that sticky? I can't find it.

I'm hitting now a NASTIER version of this [NO!

edit: I don't know what happened. I rebooted and this was gone

I don't know what I missed (or did wrong) but Çhrome (or Chromium, no longer know but I got it in Google's page) for my F12 x86_64 works perfectly with Flash content (and is at least 3x faster than Firefox).

Installed it just today.

Good luck,
Joe.
