            You can get the development linux version in a deb file directly from Google.

              I use Chromium as my main browser. It's way better than Firefox.

                Anyone here got flash to work in chromium? i tried making a softlink to libflashplayer.so but to no avail? Do i need adobe flash installed or will the flashplugin that came with kubuntu suffice?

                ls -l

                lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2009-08-12 11:34 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

                  Works in mine. Here is how I did it. This is far Google Chrome. If you are using chromium-browser from the ppa, read replies below this one.

                  Code:
                  mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
                  then
                  Code:
                  cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
                  then
                  Code:
                  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
                  Then modify the command to start the program to:

                  /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U

                  Flash is the only plugin I've tried so far. I will add some other plugins from my Firefox plugins later to see if they work.

                        yes, my instructions are for Google Chrome, but you can easily modify them for chromium browse. The command is in /usr/bin and the files are in /usr/lib/chromium-browser. I have a very busy day today, if I get time later I will try to install Java and see if it works.

                          Hello

                          I'm starting to get crazy with this...

                          Well, I have done the commands Detonate said, but to create the folders I had to create them with kdesudo dolphin. After that:

                          nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
                          nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U

                          (chromium-browser:4234): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: classe ELF errada: ELFCLASS64
                          Created new window in existing browser session.
                          nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$ /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U

                          (chromium-browser:4288): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: classe ELF errada: ELFCLASS64

                          nuno@Nuno-Linux:/opt/google/chrome/plugins$

                          And still no flash plugin...

                          marcopl, did it work in FF too??
                          One other thing that could help: I'm using 64bits version..

                            You don't have to use the mkdir command with chromium-browser, the plugins directory is already there. You only have to do that with Google Chrome.

                            To install the plugin in chromium-browser, the command should be:

                            cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins

                            Then do:

                            sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

                            Then start the browser with the command;

                            /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins

                              OK, that it's the spot. I now have flash working, but do I have to execute the command
                              /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins all the time?

                              Or can it be automatic?
