Hello,

Flash is not working for me. Youtube movies just do not load, leaving white space; other sithes, like adobe's flash tester (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) yield the message "the following plug-in has crashed : /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so".

I use the daily builds chromium ppa on an ubuntu karmic 32-bit machine (current version 4.0.203.0 (23955)) . Adobe flash 10 works in firefox (flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree installed). Flash is also listed in Chromium's aboutlugins (version 10.0r32). Chromium is started with the flag --enable-plugins.

I have tried adding a link to the libflashplayer.so file in chromium's plugins folder, but that just added another identical entry in aboutlugins and didn't fix the crashes.

Any advice? Any more data I can supply?

p.s. Upon flash crashing the terminal spits out:
"[13406:13406:12184782719:ERROR:/build/buildd/chromium-browser-4.0.203.0~svn20090821r23955/build-tree/src/chrome/browser/tab_contents/tab_contents.cc(1630)] Not implemented reached in virtual void TabContents::OnCrashedPlugin(const FilePath&) convert plugin path to plugin name"
But it doesn't seem related as it happens after the crash.

I am running WinXP with Chromium 4.0.203.0 (24078)
visited the test page and all is fine

can't offer any possible solution

have you tried starting Chromium without the "enable-plugins"

Without --enable-plugins youtube tells me I have no flash installed, aboutlugins notes that no plugins are installed, and adobe test page shows white space.

Have you tried Dev Chrome for Linux?

Chromium for Linux is at build 24079

Thank you, ver. 4.0.202.2 from dev channel solved the problem. Pity though - I preferred chromium as it was open source and not as branded as google chrome (and its icon looks cooler ).

glad to know that you found a solution
happy chroming :-)

and welcome to ChromePlugins

Well it's still in a (very, very) early stage, if you check out chromium in a few days it might work too

actually I was wondering why some features don't work in Chromium but are working in Dev Chrome

Yes that is weird, the sync still don't work in chromium.. I though they should work in chromium first before being implemented into dev chrome ?
