unarchive 886358 reopen 886358 thanks Sorry for re-opeing this bug, but it cost me some time to find that Debian disables the shreen sharing extention in its build of chromium.
> This is the intended default configuration. For those that would like > it enabled in their version, the suggested patch is correct. Can you at least clarify *why* that feature is disabled? Neither my web search nor looking in the Debian source package found any hint: * Does it make the package non-free/contrib * Is it an security issue? * or is there some other technical reason to disable it in Debian? After re-compiling chromium with that extension enabled I was finally able to use the screen sharing extension with my colleges. Also (a different issue): NEW still contains this text: > chromium-browser (55.0.2883.75-4) unstable; urgency=medium > > * External extensions are now disabled by default. Chromium will only load > extensions that are explicitly specified with the --load-extension command > line option passed into CHROMIUM_FLAGS. See the chromium-lwn4chrome > package for an example of how to do this. > * You can also use the --enable-remote-extensions command line argument to > chromium, which will bypass this restriction. But: > cat /etc/chromium.d/extensions > # remote extensions on by default > export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --enable-remote-extensions" So this looks out-of-date. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks. Philipp -- Philipp Hahn Open Source Software Engineer Univention GmbH be open.
