[EdLUG] Chrome

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hello Anon,

Can you supplement us with additional info? Everyone's assuming your system
specs from the ISO but it would be more useful to have what the system is
actually claiming to be

Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type

    uname -r
    getconf LONG_BIT
    cat /proc/cpuinfo

Copy the resulting text on screen (select the text and right-click:
copy)(ctrl + c will not work) and mail it. There should be no confidential
info in this.

Finally, in the same terminal window, type the previously recommended
command to install Chromium (open source) instead of Chrome (not really
open source), or open the Software Centre app and search for Chromium and
install it that way.
