Shockwave (flash) - Google Chrome - Debian Wheezy

  • Hello ;


    For those which are using Google Chrome on Debian Stable (Wheezy), and which updated their system recently, you can see that shockwave is crashing every time a site attempts to use it.


    The problem is due to the fact that the flash library provided with latest chrome version (Version 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit)) require glibc 2.14 while on Debian Wheezy it's still glibc 2.13.


    An easy way to fix the problem is to replace the flash library with an older version as follow:


    Shell-Script
    1. # cd /usr/local/src
    2. # mkdir google-chrome && cd google-chrome
    3. # wget http://mirror.pcbeta.com/google/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_36.0.1985.143-1_amd64.deb
    4. # ar vx oogle-chrome-stable_36.0.1985.143-1_amd64.deb
    5. # unlzma data.tar.lzma
    6. # tar -xvf data.tar
    7. # mv /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so-broken
    8. # cp -p opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/


    Once it's done, restart google chrome.


    Note: The instructions above are for 64bit OS. For those which are running a 32bit OS, you can find the package here: http://mirror.pcbeta.com/googl…n/g/google-chrome-stable/ (look for the last 36 version)
