Chorme

Few days back i installed the debian version of chrome in my laptop seems to be very fast than any other browser.Fased an issue like unable to play youtube videos on the browser got a message like

“Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia’s Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.”

Solution :

The chrome is not idetifying theĀ  the path of flash player or the flash player is not installed. If not installed please install it first and if it is installed already enter into the default path of chorme installation ie /opt/google/chrome
find the location of flash module

sudo find / -nameĀ  libflashplayer.so

Give a softlink to the chrome folder .ie if you are in the chrome folder it will be like

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so .

Start the bowser with –enable-plugins to turn on the plugin.

Enjoy youtubing…..:)
