The test for shockwave player fails (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) but the test for flash itself works (https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/), saying "You have version 13,0,0,206 installed." According to Adobe, Chrome for Linux has flash built in: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html $ rpm -qa |grep chrome google-chrome-stable-34.0.1847.132-1.x86_64 -- -- Steve

I know chrome has flash built in, and the adobe installer installs the plugin in /usr/lib64, plus I have a link to the adobe plugin in /usr/lib because the upstream 64-bit Firefox wants its plugins in /usr/lib, what I can't account for is the 4th plugin. If I use chrome://plugins in the browser I get the following display (the following display is how the chrome output is represented in Thunderbird as a result of a copy and paste, not how it is displayed in chrome): Adobe Flash Player(4 files)-Version:13.0.0.182 Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0 Name: Shockwave Flash Description: Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0 Version: 13.0.0.182 Location: /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so Type: PPAPI (out-of-process) Disable <chrome://plugins/#> MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl Name: Shockwave Flash Version: 11.2 r202 Location: /opt/google/chrome/plugins/libflashplayer.so Type: NPAPI Disable <chrome://plugins/#> MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl Name: Shockwave Flash Version: 11.2 r202 Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so Type: NPAPI Disable <chrome://plugins/#> MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl Name: Shockwave Flash Version: 11.2 r202 Location: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so Type: NPAPI Disable <chrome://plugins/#> MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl Disable <chrome://plugins/#>Always allowed regards, Steve

Hi Ed, Thankyou, that worked great. The 4th plugin appears to be the Adobe installer installing a version into the chrome plugin directory (I should have expected this). regards, Steve On 04/27/2014 12:38 PM, Ed Greshko wrote:
