Flash in Google Chromium

Flash in working in the Google Chromium Browser, pretty easy to get it working, I ran the following line in the terminal.

cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so

after that I was only getting sound but to video on youtube.com videos so I went to the System-->Administration-->Update Manager and there was a update sitting there for the Chromium browser. I ran that and it works now.

How to install Chromium (Google Chrome) in Ubuntu

1. Start Terminal Applications -->Accessories -->Terminal

and then use the following command to download the .deb package

wget http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/chromium/cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb

2. Now install the package using the following command

sudo dpkg -i cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb

Now it get a bit tricky for new users to Ubuntu and Linux but follow along and you should do fine. We need to Use the Ubuntu PPA (Personal Package Archives)

3. While still in Terminal use the following command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

This will bring up a document and you need to add the following line to the bottom of the source list.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Then Save and Exit the Document

4. Now enter the following command

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5

5. Update your source list with the following.
sudo apt-get update

6. Install the Chromium Browser

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

7. Thats it go to Applications->CrossOver Chromium->Chromium to enjoy!



* Please note that there are currently no stable releases of the Chromium Browser. This is simply a current UnStable Version I will update the blog when a stable version is release.
