Latest Chromium Update Breaks Flash v10.0.42.34

FergatROn · #1 2009-12-23, 05:12 PM CST

Hi,

I installed Chromium via a repo generously maintained by Tom "Spot" Callaway. Since it's his repo I thought I'd contact him, but I don't really know how - so I'm brining my issue to the forum to see if anyone has a possible solution.

I've been using Tom's Chromium fine for the past couple months. After a "yum update", Flash no longer works in Chromium. It works in Firefox. If I try to play any Flash videos it's just a blank box.

I'm running:

chromium-4.0.273.0-0.1.20091216svn34775.fc12.x86_64
firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64
flash-plugin-10.0.42.34-release.i386

Here's my latest YUM log:

The official Chrome beta is now available, so you don't need to put up with the chromium developer build instability.

Create a google.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Code:

[google]
name=Google - i386
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

[google64]
name=Google - x86_64
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1  

[google-testing]
name=Google Testing - i386
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

[google-testing64]
name=Google Testing - x86_64
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Add the google gpg key:

Code:

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub

You can now install the official beta with:

Code:

yum install google-chrome-beta

The official chrome beta build for linux is not stable either. Its bloated and is a resource hog.

I see he's updated it to 1221. Give it shot and see if it works.
