The Road to Elysium

Want to try out Chromium in Fedora 11?

Filed under: Linux — jorge @ 10:27

Easy peasy.

First we need to create a file called chromium.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and put the following content in it:

[chromium]
name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Save and close the file. When done, execute the following command:

# yum install chromium

And you’re done. :)

Getting Flash to work with Chromium on a 64-bit system

It’s actually not as hard as you think:

# wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
# cd /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins/
# tar -zxvf /root/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Now start up Chromium with:

$ chromium-browser --enable-plugins

Works great!
