What do you need?

-

You need Google Chrome and Chromium. Google Chrome contains the plugins, which you need and why would you want to get them into Chromium if you didn't have it?

-

Chromium is probably packaged in your distribution and can be found either in package "chromium" (in Debian 7 (Wheezy) and above) or "chromium-browser" (Debian 6 (Squeeze)).

-

How to get the plugins into Chromium.

-

After you have installed Chrome and Chromium, you should have directories "/opt/google/chrome" and "/usr/lib/chromium".

-

The plugins, which you want are files "libpdf.so" and "libgcflashplayer.so" in the /opt/google/chrome" directory.

-

The easiest way to get them into Chromium is to symlink them with the following commands:

-
ln -s /opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so /usr/lib/chromium/
-ln -s /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium
-

Remember to keep Google Chrome installed, because when package managment upgrades it, those plugins are also upgraded in both Chrome and Chromium (because Chromium is same as Chrome with those plugins).

-

Now open (or if it was already running, restart) Chromium and go to about:plugins. There you should see two new plugins called "Chrome PDF Viewer" and "Flash". Enable them if they aren't enabled and they both should work now whenever you go into page with Flash script or PDF file.

-

NOTE: Flash might need you to install package flashplugin-nonfree from the repositories. I am not fully sure about this.

Thunderbird / Icedove guide

-

What do you need?

-

Debian

-

On Debian you need package Icedove, but you should also install Enigmail and GnuPG and GnuPG2

-
-

aptitude install icedove enigmail gnupg gnupg2

-
-

Ubuntu

-

On Ubuntu you should install same packages as with Debian, but Icedove is called as Thunderbird.

-
-

aptitude install icedove enigmail gnupg gnupg2

-
-

Mac OS X

-

You need Thunderbird, but you should also install GPG-Tools and Enigmail.

-

Windows

-

You need at Thunderbird, but you should also install GPG4Win and Enigmail.

-

Setting up

-

When you open Thunderbird / Icedove for the first time, it will ask for email address and password. Give them and Thunderbird will attempt to find the details and after that it downloads emails from the server.

-

Sending plaintext.

-

To send emails in plaintext, open Edit --> Account settings --> Composition & Addressing and uncheck the box "Compose messages in HTML format.

-

Why to not send emails in HTML?

-

See my complaining about HTML usage here.

-

Sending UTF-8.

-

This doesn't affect emails with any visible way. It might just remove some charters in message source and it will allow you to send more charters than some latin1 charset. It might also remove charset line in PGP/INLINE signed emails.

-

Open Edit --> Preferences --> Display --> Formatting --> Advanced... --> Character Encodings and set both "Outgoing Mail" and "Incoming Mail" as "Unicode UTF-8" and check the checkbox "When possible, use the default character encoding in replies."

-

Why to send emails in UTF-8?

-

I am going to write explaining for this later.
