Adding flash on a browser, installed after installing flash

[Domsdey]

Hey! I am using F13, and I successfully installed Adobe Flash Player. So, here comes the problem - I installed Google Chrome browser after that, and whenever I try to view flash content it says "missing plugin".

get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ says:
Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe® Flash® Player built-in.

Any ideas how can I fix this? Thanks

Any ideas?

Probably something to do with making a symlink to the flash-plugin. At least that's my guess. I think I recall seeing a thread here about Chrome / Flash. Any luck with a forum search?

are you on 64bit or 32bit Linux? http://linux.byexamples.com/archives...reate-symlink/

or just do man Symlink in terminal

64 bit fedora13

I tried copying all the flash plugin files to google chrome folder - no luck.

Can you explain more simply about symlinks and what I have to do?

Seems that flash "just works" with the default install of the Chrome browser. At least that's what the flash test page says and Chrome itself tells me that it comes with flash already installed.

Not a very helpful post, but since I installed Chrome browser just to see what happens, thought I'd post my results.

There was a time when it was usually necessary to manually link libflashplayer.so to the proper location. Maybe this is what's needed in your case? The Fedora Project Wiki shows how to do this for Chrome.

Thanks, it's now working great.

Great! Glad it's fixed.
