enabling the flashplayer plugin on chromium-browser

chromium-browser is the open source project behind Google Chrome (not the OS, but the browser), it’s quite nice but the annoying things about it are :

Anyway, since I’m always interested in testing/tweaking the stuff I use, I decided, I’d try to get Flash Player working in this new browser, and it turns out to be quite easy :

First, make sure you have Flash Player installed
Next, make a simlink in chromium’s plugin directory :
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromiun-browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Last thing to make it work, lauch chromium-browser with the —enable-plugins switch (in a terminal or launcher)
chromium-browser --enable-plugins

At this point, you can view Flash content in chromium-browser,

Cheers
