[Solved] Google Chrome, libflashplayer.so

BultiZ · 2014-06-08 13:03:55

Hello all archers :)

Im pretty new to this arching since 4-5 months but stubbon upon my first real problem now..
Running arch x86, xfce4 DE, netbook-kernel, on an asus eee 1005HA netbook.

So the atom cpu is abit slow, but it works fine for some casual browsing, before ive allways used lubuntu on this computer, but wanted to try something new..
Since the atom cpu is slow i used libflashplayer.so in google chrome instead of libpepflashplayer.so when i was using lubuntu, and that worked flawless, not a single lag.

I want to do this with arch too, ive think ive placed the libflashplayer.so everywhere and changed its permission but no luck in "chrome://plugins", ive googled my brains out the last 2 weeks to find a solution, but nothing have helped me..

Can some1 guide me here or link a guide or something? because now flash is totally useless, lower then 1 fps :)

/Regards BultiZ

You've looked at this, right? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/browser_plugins

Chrome does not support npapi plugins anymore. You can use a patched version of Chromium (not Chrome).

oh that answers it..going to try chromium then xD

Chromium is the same unless you used the patched version linked to above.

took my atom cpu 15 hrs to compile the patched version.. and now when opening a site thats using flash chromium says "Couldnt load Shockwave Flash"... bah wtf is this

Edit: Tried installing flash manually from Adobe site.. nothing either, but atleast the manually installed plugin shows up @ chrome://plugins... but that doesnt help much if it wont load

Just use the chromium package from the official repos. Then use the chromium-pepper-flash package from the AUR.

You will then also need to ensure that the file /etc/chromium/default has something like this:

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so"
