Description Otto Leipälä 2017-01-28 17:13:12 CET

I noticed our flash not still work with chromium browser it reads flash plugin from /opt where chrome is installed by default not from /usr/lib(64)/flash-plugin.

When i give this command as root to terminal it will start to work so maybe need to apply own patch to change it in chromium build. ?

mkdir -p /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash

cp -r /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/*.* /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash

Then flash start to work in chromium

Ahh yes, Anssi did say we were going to have to adapt Chromium to check that location, but this hasn't been done yet.

Comment 4 andré blais 2018-08-06 17:41:17 CEST

from the info in chrome://flash,
this workaround seems to be still needed for 

flash player 30.0.0.134
chromium-browser-stable-67.0.3396.87-2.mga6.src.rpm (64b version)

All browsers ended support for Flashplayer. Flashplayer is EOL since Jan 2021.

Closing INVALID.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
