LAHF Flash fix for chromium?

So I noticed that there was a fix for my 64bit flash constantly crashing (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 01#p587601) but it doesn't seem to work in chromium and recent developments mean that flash no longer works at all. Is there any way to use this fix on chromium that anyone knows about?

Thanks.

Okay, you need to run

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-lahf-fix.so

after compiling the flashplugin-lahf-fix and putting it in the above directory.

Hurrah.

Re: LAHF Flash fix for chromium?

Hi! I use Chrome and I have tried with your advice but I obtain this error with hulu.com for example:

It's strange, because in Firefox and Epiphany I can open those pages where flash fails thanks to the patch:/

Re: LAHF Flash fix for chromium?

Hi,
have used the lahf fix with firefox now for a while and it's been working great. I recently tried to give chromium and chrome a try on my linux box. But both have problems with flash. They sometimes crashes. Some videos on Youtube are working. That makes me believe that the problem is the "lahf" bug.

Tried to run the "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-lahf-fix.so" command but with no luck. The command don't give any errors, it runs fine.

I have installed the lahf fix from AUR.

Could anyone help me get this working?

Re: LAHF Flash fix for chromium?

I think the issue is that chromium uses some method of sandboxing which defeats LD_PRELOAD (it involves a setuid binary for some reason, /usr/lib/chromium/chromium-sandbox).  This has also affected people wanting to use tsocks.  Choices are:
- Compile the LAHF fix into chromium itself somehow
- Use one of the other sandboxing mechanisms (not sure how usable they are)
- Link the LAHF fix into the flashplugin library itself somehow.  I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm about to try.
