Keep Your Browser Profiles In tmpfs (RAM) For Reduced Disk Writes And Increased Performance With Profile Sync Daemon

It's also a lot easier to use.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Since RAM content is cleared on reboot, Profile Sync Daemon <b>automatically syncs the profile back to the physical disk</b> using a symbolic link and rsync at a given time interval. Furthermore, the profile is synced back to the hard disk before you shut down or restart your computer, so no profile data is lost. Still, <b>use it at your own risk!</b></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">By default, Profile Sync Daemon syncs all your browsers profiles in RAM, but this can be changed from its configuration file, along with some other options.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Profile Sync Daemon</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Profile Sync Daemon is available for Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Chakra Linux, Debian and Gentoo.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Before installing it, make a backup of your browser profile just in case!</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Too install it in Ubuntu, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graysky/utils<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install profile-sync-daemon</code></pre><br />For <b>Arch Linux</b>, install it via <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/profile-sync-daemon">AUR</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For <b>other Linux distributions</b>, see the Profile Sync Daemon <a href="https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon">GitHub</a> page.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>After the installation, you must configure it</b>. The instructions below are for Ubuntu and may be different for other Linux distributions (I'll link to the Profile Sync Daemon Arch Linux wiki at the bottom of the article for more info). Open <i>/etc/psd.conf</i> as root with a text editor:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>gksu gedit /etc/psd.conf</code></pre><br />then scroll to <i>USERS=""</i> and add your username, example:<br /><pre class="source-code"><code>USERS="andrew"</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Save the file but don't close it</b> - just switch to a terminal and run the following command:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>profile-sync-daemon parse</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This should display all the browser profiles Profile Sync Daemon can sync to RAM. Now that you know all the browsers / profiles available on your system that this tool supports, go back to the text editor where you were editing <i>/etc/psd.conf,</i> scroll down to <i>#BROWSERS=""</i>, uncomment it (remove the "#") and add the browsers for which you want to mount the profile in RAM (if they showed up when running "profile-sync-daemon parse"), separated by spaces. Examples:</div><pre class="source-code"><code>BROWSERS="firefox"</code></pre>or:<br /><pre class="source-code"><code>BROWSERS="firefox chromium"</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you don't uncomment this, all the supported browser profiles will use tmpfs.<br /><br /><br />See if you need to change anything else in this file (you usually don't need to change anything else because the <i>VOLATILE</i> path is automatically set based on the Linux distribution used, so it's set to <i>/run/shm</i> by default in Ubuntu), then save it.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Now you need to close the browsers added to <i>/etc/psd.conf</i> - make sure they are not still running! - and start the Profile Sync Damon:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo service psd start</code></pre>That's it.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Optional: more frequent syncs to disk</b>. By default, Profile Sync Daemon runs every hour (using a cron.hourly job) and syncs your browser profile(s) to the disk, but if you want more frequent syncs, you can add a cron job:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>crontab -e</code></pre>And add this:<br /><pre class="source-code"><code>*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/profile-sync-daemon sync &> /dev/null</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The above line will sync your browser profile(s) to the disk every 5 minutes, but you can change this to anything you want (for more info, see the <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto">Cron howto</a>).</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>How to check if Profile Sync Daemon is working</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeFsVnfEHqBvjHConhyphenhyphenF90ToKOxgk7fUrdVYQdr6PXVVjL7_bvXi6HBe0h8bwDHxRiMGx-GNOaWX3R1JiNXjkP5mo_E5AJjeYVC0hiiMlvf4shXmfnM__CJkxOXUWJX3HOHDPH7UJSBJh-/s1600/tmpfs-run-shm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="tmpfs browser profiles /run/shm" border="0" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeFsVnfEHqBvjHConhyphenhyphenF90ToKOxgk7fUrdVYQdr6PXVVjL7_bvXi6HBe0h8bwDHxRiMGx-GNOaWX3R1JiNXjkP5mo_E5AJjeYVC0hiiMlvf4shXmfnM__CJkxOXUWJX3HOHDPH7UJSBJh-/s320/tmpfs-run-shm.png" title="tmpfs browser profiles /run/shm" width="320" /></a></div><br />To see if Profile Sync Daemon is working and your browser profile is using tmpfs, you can navigate to /run/shm (in Ubuntu; on Debian it should be <i>/dev/shm</i>) and see if your profiles show up there.

If you want to use the latest Flash Player 11.3.x in Linux, but with Chromium, not Google Chrome, here's what you must do.</b></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1.</b> Firstly, you'll have to <a href="http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel">download</a> and install Google Chrome. Any version will do; in my test I've used Google Chrome unstable (23) and Chromium stable and unstable (21 and 23; <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/new-chromium-stable-and-development.html" title="New Chromium Stable And Development PPAs For Ubuntu 12.04">PPA here</a>).</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

You can find out what version to enter here by opening a file manager and pointing it to <i>/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash</i>, then open the "manifest.json" file and you'll find out the Flash Player version number under "version" (it should be on line 4).</div><br />Now open a new tab and enter "chrome://plugins", and see if the Flash plugin version is correct. You can then check the Adobe Flash version you're using, <a href="http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Update:</b>  an easy way to always have the correct Flash Player version in Chromium is to do the following. Open <i>~/.profile</i> with a text editor:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>gedit ~/.profile</code></pre><br />And add the following line:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>export PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION=$(grep '"version":' /opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/manifest.json| grep -Po '(?<=version": ")(?:\d|\.)*')</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3.</b> Try it out and if Adobe Flash Player that comes bundled with Google Chrome is working fine for you in Chromium, let's make it permanent so you don't have to use any command line parameters in the future.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For this, you need to open the <i>/etc/chromium-browser/default</i> file as root with a text editor:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>gksu gedit /etc/chromium-browser/default</code></pre>And replace CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" with the following:<br /><pre class="source-code"><code>CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=$PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION"</code></pre><br />This will automatically get the Flash Player version from the Google Chrome manifest file once you log out and log back in.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Arch Linux </b>users can install <a href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60443">THIS</a> package via AUR instead of following the instructions above.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>info via <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1976503">ubuntuforums</a>; thanks to Gregory Kramida for Flash version tweak.</i></div>
