Installing Chromium

Hi all,

I am trying to install Chromium but i cant find the package in Add and Remove programs or via apt-get.My sources list is as per another thread here so what am i doing wrong. Also is there anyway i can edit the top taskbar,i cant remove Iceweasel or the Computer icon from it. Is there anyway of customising it yet .. Thanks..

Ok we have success,done a bit of googling and found some info on editing the etc/resolv.conf file. Changed the nameserver from my routers default address to googles 8.8.8.8,ran commands and hey presto we have lift off.. Thanks for everything..

another option to install chromium:
use a software center > internet > web browser > chromium web browser > install

I was able to get it from one of the default repo's. See below:

Code:

---

root@shutupkyle:~# apt-cache policy chromium
chromium:
  Installed: 24.0.1312.68-1

Hi Sw1p3r! You can install chrome directly from https://www.google.com/intl/es/chrome/browser/ getting .deb package.
Default installation directory is : /opt/google/chrome

To launch it add --user-data-dir=<path> PATH = any directory to save conf (Chrome does not can be launched has root)

To remove icons on the taskbar use SUPER+ALT+RIGHT CLICK and you will see the remove option.
