INSTALLING GOOGLE-CHROME
For Debian 7.5, Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04:
NOTE: These versions ship with the "Chromium" browser. No test with this browser has been successful.
Google-Chrome installation is best done using the terminal and command lines.
On Debian 7.5, the terminal is available from: Applications => Accessories => Terminal
On Ubuntu, the terminal can be found by double-clicking the "DASH HOME" icon (top icon on the left side of the screen) and searching for "terminal".
First, download the browser:
wget -c https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Installation is done in two steps:
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
For CentOS 6.5, Fedora 19 and Fedora 20
This installation is best done using the terminal and command lines.
The terminal is available from Applications => Accessories => Terminal for a GNOME desktop
Or System => Terminal for a KDE desktop.
Log in as 'root'
The installation involves, first, adding google-chrome to the yum repository. To do this, make a text file in /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo. Put the following text in that file:
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux-signing-key.pub
Google-Chrome can now be installed with:
yum -y install google-chrome-stable
NOTE: Google-Chrome WILL NOT run from the 'root' user. Only a non-root user can use this browser.
For Mageia 4
Google-Chrome installation is done as the root user. Since root login cannot be done from the login page, log in as another user, start a terminal, and log in as root from there:
su root
Set up Mageia's software repository list to pick up google-chrome:
urpmi.addmedia –upate chrome_x86_64 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/stable/x86_64
Next, pull in the signing key:
rpm –import https://dl.google.com/linux/linux-signing-key.pub
And do the install:
urpmi google-chrome-stable.
Again, Google-Chrome will not run from the root user. Only a non-root user can use this browser.
Adobe Connect on Firefox
Debian systems, like Ubuntu comes with Firefox by default. However you may get a static "connecting" info when trying to join a meeting on AC.
Follow the url below to fix this problem: http://blogs.adobe.com/connectsupport/meeting-fails-to-load-in-firefox-under-ubuntu-linux/
Mic not working on Adobe connect
If your Mic is not working on Ubuntu system, the procedure below was a fix that worked for me (running Ubuntu 12.04)
Open terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the gstreamer-properties.
Change the settings under Default Input to the below screenshot.
Close the interface and your MIC should be working.
NB: This fix also works if you are having problem with Skype mic
