Mageia forum

I may be a bit dense. I have searched and could not find an answer to this for Mageia. How do I get gnash to work with chromium. I copied libgnashplugin.so to the folders where the other plugin files are, but no dice. When I type about:plugins in the url window, it won't show gnash as a plugin. Gnash is working fine in both Konqueror and Firefox. I prefer Chromium, personally so I would like it to run. Any help is appreciated.

I copied libgnashplugin.so to the folders where the other plugin files are

which folders specifically?

Chrome/Chromium has a built-in Flash player. There is no plugin involved.

If you'd searched before posting, you would have found this page: https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/a ... wer=108086

I know it has built in flash player. But, I don't want to use flash due to its malicious features.

I looked at that page before. The problem is that the package in the repos is Chromium, not Chrome, so there is no /opt/google/chrome in the file system tree. None of the repos have Chrome. At least, none of the repos I have set up which are: core, backports, nonfree, tainted, tainted backports, and core 32. I could not find a plugins folder where the chromium which is in /usr/lib64/chromium-browser. That location and /usr/lib64 are the only 2 spots any of the other plugins are located.

Well, then try with Chrome: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2053

You can mark this as solved. I discovered that Chromium actually was using gnash the whole time. In about:plugins, it was labeling it "Shockwave Flash", but the file it was using for Shockwave Flash was actually the gnash file. Sorry about the thread with no actual problem, but at least I know now that it uses gnash and labels it in the browser as "Shockwave Flash".

Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks
