Sponsored Link
First you can use this tutorial to install chromium in Ubuntu using PPAs and after that you can try any one of the following methods.
First you need to download .deb package from here using the following command
wget http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/chromium/cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb
Now you have cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb package install this package using the following command
sudo dpkg -i cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb
Using Ubuntu PPA
First you need edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following two lines for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Users
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
For ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) Users add the following two lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
For ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) Users add the following two lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
save and exit the file
Now add the GPG key using the following command
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
or For karmic users use the following command
sudo add-apt-key ppa:chromium-daily/ppa
Update source list
sudo apt-get update
Install chromium browser using the following command
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
#
This will complete the installation
If you want to open chromium go to Applications->CrossOver Chromium->Chromium

I had a bit of trouble installing the GPG key: Firefox showed the double-dashes as long dashes, which didn’t work when copied to the command line. Just had to write in the double-dashes myself.
Thanks for the tip Malcolm. Helped me out.
“sudo add-apt-key ppa:chromium-daily/ppa” did not work for me..
but this did:
add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa
apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
(the apt-key adv …command should be all in one line up the end of the key ( …7b5))
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the step.. But for the GPG Key, I use the same as Ray does. And it work!.
Thanks again.. 😀
Thanks for the guide. Currently, I just use Firefox on my Kubuntu. But, sometimes it works too slow. Chrome fast enough when i try on windows
I posted this once before but it got buried. If any are interested: here are 2 steps that (w)gets the deb file right from google & cuts out any potential man-in-the-middle issues… It doesn’t have any other dependencies. So far, It works in every version of ubuntu and debian and it even works in knoppix.
1.) wget http://dl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb
2.) sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb

There is a small error on this page, in the way its rendered rather than the information.
In the following line above the “–“s are rendered with – chars and when you copy paste to a terminal the command line it doesn’t work. Here is what it should be.
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5
when ever i try to do sudo dpkg -i cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb i get this error:
jaden is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
whats that mean? i get through the first part but second part wont
This is why Linux is a fail. Too many hurdles in just installing a simple application.
you can also install opera which is a much better browser or gecko or epiphany or many more, as long as your ubuntu has some gnome in there!!
after the complete installation, it ended u with E:Broken Packages
UbuntuGeek,
Thanks very much for this page: this is the ONLY web resource anywhere I could find that actually provides the solution to (re-)installing the Chronium browser on Ubuntu Linux.
What’s really disgraceful is that none of this information is provided at Chronium’s own website (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructions). What they say instead is the following:
————————————————–
Due mostly to its history and its complexity, Chromium uses a nonstandard set of custom tools to check out and build. Here’s an overview of the steps you’ll run:
1 gclient. A checkout involves pulling nearly 100 different SVN repositories of code. This process is managed with a tool called gclient.
2 gyp. The cross-platform build configuration system is called gyp, and on Linux it generates Makefiles. Running gyp is analogous to the ./configure step seen in most other software.
3 make. The actual build itself uses GNU make.
4 We don’t provide any sort of “install” step.
————————————————–
Frankly, I think this attitude stinks and gives the impression that software geeks prefer to keep things complicated to keep the likes of you and me ignorant. What do others think?
Many thanks once again to UbuntuGeek for not leaving is ignorant in such affairs.
Yours,
Clive (Kubuntu 11.04, London, UK)
It is not working for me. I have Ubuntu 10.04, when I paste
” deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main ” (minus the “”)
and select save and close, I get this error in the terminal:

So, what do I do? Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!
