[SOLVED] gnash and Chromium

[mhoke63]

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.

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".
