Google Chrome itself won't be installed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The package is just an installer and doesn't contain any Google Chrome / Adobe Flash files, like the official flashplugin-installer or out <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html">oracle-java-installer</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To add the PPA and install Adobe Pepper Flash from Google Chrome in Ubuntu (to be used in Chromium), use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer</code></pre><br />Once installed, there's<b> one more step</b> to get Chromium to use the Google Chrome Pepper Flash Player: you need to open <i>/etc/chromium-browser/default</i> as root with a text editor (e.g.: gedit - which I'll use in the command below):<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install gksu #it`s not installed by default in Ubuntu 13.04<br />gksu gksu gedit /etc/chromium-browser/default</code></pre>("gksu" is used twice to avoid a bug with Gedit opening a blank file next to our file) <br /><br />and in that file, <b>paste the following line at the bottom of the file</b> (after the CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" line):<br /><pre class="source-code"><code>. /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh</code></pre>(yes, there's a dot in the beginning of the line, then a space!)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/chromium-pepper-flash.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pepper Flash Chromium Browser" border="0" height="123" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NRauwHA3aiE/UX-Zv5R5VeI/AAAAAAAAPHU/Z5cmIO5Tuj4/s320/chromium-pepper-flash.png" title="Pepper Flash Chromium Browser" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's it. Now restart Chromium browser, visit <i>chrome://plugins</i> and check the Adobe Flash Player version (it's possible you have two, there's no need to disable the old one because Pepper Flash will be used by default since it's newer) - it shouldn't be 11.2.x but a newer version (e.g.: 11.7.700.x at the time I'm writing this article).<br /><br /><b>Arch Linux</b> users can install Pepper Flash for Chromium basically in the same way, by using <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-pepper-flash-stable/">THIS</a> AUR package.</div><br /><i>If you don't want to use a PPA for this, see: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/how-to-make-chromium-use-flash-player.html">Use Pepper Flash Player From Google Chrome In Chromium Browser</a>.</i><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>via <a href="http://www.lffl.org/2013/04/flash-player-pepper-su-chromium-in.html">lffl.org</a></i></div>

Bumblebee 3.2.1 Released With Ubuntu 13.04 Fixes, New Options

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bumblebee 3.2 has been released a few days ago but there was an issue and it didn't work on a lot of setups o version 3.2.1 has been released to fix this. The new version also fixes the Primus backend for Ubuntu 13.04 and adds some new options.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><a href="http://bumblebee-project.org/">Bumblebee</a> is an unofficial tool that brings Nvidia Optimus GPU switching to Linux. It's useful to increase battery life by only switching the dedicated GPU (Nvidia) on when needed. Nvidia has added <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/nvidia-releases-linux-graphics-drivers.html">initial Optimus support</a> in their latest 319.12 beta drivers, but it doesn't have GPU switching yet.</i></div><br /><a name='more'></a><b>Bumblebee 3.2 comes with the following changes:</b><br /><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">new option: "-b" to disable injection of any render offloading bridge (primus or VirtualGL). Use this to invoke nvidia-settings (optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8)<i>;</i></li><li style="text-align: justify;">new option: "--no-xorg" for optirun to disable starting secondary X server. Use this to run CUDA or OpenCL applications that do not need the graphics rendering capabilities. Implies "-b none";</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Bumblebee no longer depends on the primusrun script anymore for the Primus backend. However, "primusrun" and "optirun -b primus" have different behaviors: the first one powers on the discrete GPU when needed while the second one will immediately do this; the difference in behavior is most noticeable with WebGL content in Firefox;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Added support for passing <i>-configdir</i> to X, defaulting to <i>/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d</i>,<i> --xconfdir</i> option added to bumblebeed and XorgConfDir added to <i>bumblebee.conf</i>; this finally fixes a long-standing annoyance with SNA config option for the Intel driver;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">the BusID is added automatically on Ubuntu 13.04 so users no longer need to do this manually. Without this, Bumblebee failed to work on Ubuntu 13.04;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: added <i>/usr/$LIB/mesa/libGL.so.1</i> to default primus libGLd for supporting Ubuntu 13.04;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: fixed a "buffer overflow" issue in bumblebeed;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: removed accesses to PCI config space from the daemon process.</li></ul><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, <b><a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/set-up-bumblebee-with-bumblebee.html">Bumblebee Configurator GUI</a></b>, a tool that allows you to easily setup Bumblebee, has been <b>updated recently with support for the latest Bumblebee 3.2</b>. <b>The latest version also adds an option to install Bumblebee in Ubuntu</b>.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Bumblebee Configurator GUI in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aocDU7aO_Hw/UX4zRvNrbpI/AAAAAAAAPFs/QhAwMFKgKdg/s1600/bumblebee-config_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" border="0" height="231" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aocDU7aO_Hw/UX4zRvNrbpI/AAAAAAAAPFs/QhAwMFKgKdg/s320/bumblebee-config_1.png" title="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xM1AUuzhZ_o/UX4zRmTxCSI/AAAAAAAAPFo/gBNZWnsJb7k/s1600/bumblebee-config_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" border="0" height="222" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xM1AUuzhZ_o/UX4zRmTxCSI/AAAAAAAAPFo/gBNZWnsJb7k/s320/bumblebee-config_2.png" title="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To install Bumblebee Configurator GUI in Ubuntu, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandrofac93/bumblebee-config-gtk-dev<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install bumblebee-config-gui</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, you launch the application and use it to install and set up Bumblebee.
