Chromium using Flash 9, Firefox using Flash 10?

**Grimmy** · November 25th, 2009

Hi,

Just installed Chromium into my fresh Karmic install using Googles .deb ( http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel ) and it seems to run fine ... however when I visit YouTube, right clicking a video reveals it to be using Flash 9. Firefox uses Flash 10. Flash 9 doesn't have any sound on my System . Anyone know how I can get the Chromium (4.0.249.11) to use Flash 10 instead of Flash 9?

Cheers,
Grimmy.

Managed to work it out...

in about

lugins both versions were listed, so I did

Code:

sudo updatedb
locate libflashplayer.so

then I used sudo rm to remove all instances of libflashplayer other than the one in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

Now Chrome is using Flashplayer 10 and I have sound.

Worked perfectly, although, on a fresh install, I added the folder manually, without problems:

Chromium (in the folder you have libflashplayer.so 64-bit)

Code:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/

And for Firefox

Code:

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

I had a similar issue after upgrading from Jaunty (9.04) to Karmic (9.10). The Firefox Flash plugin had sound but Chromium didn't.

I found that I had adobe-flashplugin, flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound installed.

I removed them all:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound

Then reinstalled only adobe-flashplugin:

Code:

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Then I restarted Chromium - YouTube videos now have sound !

(it's possible just removing flashplugin-installer & flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound without the reinstall of adobe-flashplugin would have worked too ...)
