Chromium 18.0 with Flash 11.2 at YouTube: "Missing Plug-in"

[John Hupp]

OK, that's a proper distinction about Chromium not having integrated Flash.

For my first LTSP server, the one about which I posted this, I installed 
Lubuntu with the Alternate Install CD (before I realized that it does 
not offer an F4 Modes: Install LTSP Server option, which was the reason 
I downloaded the Alternate Install) on less-powerful hardware.

I just set up another one for testing and used the Desktop Install on 
more powerful hardware.  I chose the installation option for third-party 
software (including Flash), and ***Flash works on YouTube*** without any 
further installations or updates.

Unfortunately there were too many variables between the two 
installations to definitively pin down why Flash works on one setup and 
not the other.  My successful setup has hardware that meets the minimum 
specs for Flash 11.2 (which I just discovered at 
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/release-notes-flash-player-11_20120305.html), 
and my unsuccessful setup falls short.  That difference in specs is the 
likeliest explanation, though there is also the Alternate vs. Desktop 
install, and I can't remember if I chose the third-party software option 
on the unsuccessful rig.
