Flash works out of the box with it (yes I know chrome is proprietary), and I had to install java the correct way, but it just works now. Install was via yum after setting up the google repo and then yum install google-chrome-beta The method to get java working was essentially: Download the jre from http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80 Choose 32 or 64 bit version as appropriate Execute the java install bin file within the directory where you want to store the java stuff Make any links necessary: Now check for the location of jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so Now mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins ln -s /path/to/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so . On 64 bit may need to reference lib64 in the jre instead of lib Restart Chrome and check that java works. This works for me. The only other additions in chrome I use is to have Adblock and the RSS extension - and with this setup Foxnews video plays fine in F12. Hope this helps - it would be really nice if chromium could be made to work properly with flash and java but I never got it to do so. If anyone has a "recipe" for installing it and getting it to work with both flash and java then I would be happy to switch from chrome to chromium. -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
