Chrome 24 (one of the last versions of chrome still able to run on centos 6) has new enough peperflash to run vsphere 5.5 webinterface (also needs openjdk 1.7 installed and some fonts to work properly)

Is there a version of chromium for CentOS with a new enough flash plug-in to work with VMware vSphere client for ESXi 5.5?

It may be possible. But it needs a lot of search :-)

Is there a way to install that patched GTK segregated from the rest of CentOS so only chromium accesses and uses that version of GTK?

Yes you are right that one might as well install Chrome and I was going to post a link today, but last night I was posting from a phone.

I found Lloyd’s script on this page: http://www.tecmint.com/install-google-chrome-on-redhat-centos-fedora-linux/

I had first gone down the road of trying to install a new flash plug in on Firefox and then Chromium until I found that page. Happily for me, Chrome with the Flash plugin indeed works with VMware vSphere web client (the terminology is confusing but their web client runs on the server and communicates with your browser client). I wanted to make sure that it is common knowledge that it’s painful or impossible at this time to do it with Chromium instead.

Hmmm... then I fail to see how that's better than Richard Lloyd's script to install Chrome in CentOS 6.x... i.e. http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/

At least that script segregates the libstdc++ and libgtk/libgdk files into /opt/google/chrome/lib so only Chrome uses them. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.orgmailto:CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
