Chrome on Ubuntu 9.10

Wednesday. November 04, 2009 - 1 min

In my previous post, I gave a how-to of installing Chromium browser(development version of Google Chrome) on Arch Linux. In this post I’ll show you how to install Chromium on Ubuntu 9.10(Karmic Koala).

1. Go to System->Administration->Software Sources. Go to tab “Other Software”.

2. Click Add. In ‘APT Line’ paste the following:

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

   Click Add again and paste the following:

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

   Click Close and Reload.

3. In a terminal paste the following:

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

4. Install chromium using the following command:

    sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
   

That’s it. You’re done. I’ve also made a screen-cast of the procedure. Yay! My first youtube video. :D
