lewmur Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Trying out the new Kubuntu and I'm having a problem trying to watch Hulu in Chrome. I have the Flash Player + extension installed but when I try to play something I get the error saying I need to install Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Chrome doesn't use flash. Chrome uses the built in pepperflash plugin so more than likely you are having conflicting issues. Now if you want to disable the built in pepperflash and use flash instead (flash is a lot buggier and is not updated for linux anymore): https://www.enounce.com/chrome-disable-pepperflash http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/install-pepper-flash-chromium-ubuntu-14-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to uninstall Chrome and re-install and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Check: chrome://plugins/ See, look at the path of Adobe Flash Player: /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so BTW if you are using chromium, you need to install pepperflash http://www.webupd8.o...player-for.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewmur Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Seems the pepper plugin isn't installed by default in this Kubuntu version of Chrome. Had to do an apt-get to install it. Working now. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 It must of been chromium not chrome. Chromium is the open source version and is the same except it lacks pepper flash and PDF reader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Didn't realize there was a difference. Learn something new everyday. Now if I can just get my Bluetooth headset to work, Kubuntu might be useable. The bluetooth manager in Mint allows me to select the device for the sound output but I can't find where to do that in Kubuntu. The headset pairs with no problem but the sound still goes the speakers instead of the headset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm at work right now but maybe I can help you when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewmur Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm at work right now but maybe I can help you when I get home Thanks but I found it. Chromium has its own volume control and an option to move its output to the different devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Note also, Lew, most Chrome Store addons and themes work fine with Chromium. I started using Chromium a year or so ago after just getting sick and tired of Firefox updates, bloat, and resource hogging. I've never regretted it. Chromium/Chrome is wonderful! Have fun with it!
