I installed Google Chrome beta downloaded from google.com.
1: How do I get the flash working? I have flash plugin for firefox installed, and working in other browsers that use nspluginviewer.
2: How do I get the default RSS reader to be Akregator in Chrome? Now, whenever I click on the rss-subscribe link, I go to a feedburner page that asked me to subscribe using several services, OTHER THAN Akregator.
Flash in chrome is not available yet as far as I know
Well, it was working fine with Chromium 
I’m also looking for a workaround and will post as soon as I find a solution 
Huh? It’s been there on the openSUSE build since
BenderBendingRodriguez started to package the 64bit version.
The one from the contrib has flash (softlinks to your standard browser
plugins), else you can make a link to the plugins directory to the
installed flash.
You can also just copy libflashplayer.so into the google plugins
directory.

That’s it!
# cd /opt/google/chrome
# mkdir plugins
# ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Well, actually this is simpler, cleaner solution :
ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins /opt/google/chrome/plugins
Hi
You might also what to check how it starts as well. In the chromium
version there is a start script, not sure for googles own version?
#!/bin/bash
/opt/google/chromium-browser/chrome --enable-plugins \
--enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions
I run a separate one for user agent switching as well.

yup, apparently you need to --enable-plugin to get flash to work.
Now, if I can get RSS reader to work as well…
So do I copy & paste that code in the terminal? I’m new to linux, I’ve experimented with Ubuntu but I like Opensuse a lot better.
I enter that code in the terminal and I get a permission denied.
Is there a way where I can have no restrictions period? I’m the only user on this computer, so I thought that made me the Administrator? All privileges? No? haha!
Any information would be great.
Thanks
A very simple solution to all the problems as malcolmlewis described already.
For me, i will not install the beta version, just stick to contrib repo build. which have everything.
Add contrib repo from community repos in software repositories in YaST. Then goto software management and install chromium from there, it will take care of the dependencies.
OR here is the contrib repo to add:
Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/11.2:/Contrib/standard
Good luck.
When I was trying out chrome, I came across this page…How to activate Flash Plugin for Google Chrome on openSUSE 11.2
Hope that helps ;).
