Nowdays, chromium become more stable. Follow this step-by-step tutorial that I quoted from ubuntugeek, to install chrome in ubuntu, using PPA ubuntu deb package.

First of all, make sure you were in the root account by using :

#sudo su

You need to edit /etc/apt/source.list

#gedit /etc/apt/source.lilst

Then add following two line :

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

Thus for karmic version. For other release, just change “karmic” with your release. Then save and exit.

Add the GPG key

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

Update source list

#apt-get update

Last, install chromium with this command :

#apt-get install chromium-browser

Well done, installation complete. You can find it at Application –> Internet –> Chromium

I found another tutorial, using google repositoris, in ubuntu forums. It was different in third step :

Add following line in source list :

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main

Save and exit. Add signing key :

#wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Update source list

#apt-get update

And install google chrome

#aptitude install google-chrome-unstable

I just tried first way and It was success. Until now, it was stable.

I’ll give any report after.
