it's the same trick for the vlc, why do i have to change geteuid every time ??? And how can i install the google chrome coz to install the flashplayer too u have to do something again and again, not the chromium browser

Here's another good option if you have trouble with the above:

1. Go to /usr/bin
2. Make a copy of chromium-browser
3. Rename this copy chromium-browser-start
4. Open original chromium-browser with gedit, erase everything
5. Type "chromium-browser-start %U --user-data-dir" (minus the quotations)
6. Save

So what we've done here is: When you call the Google Chromium browser (Chrome) either through the command line, clicking on the script in /bin, or through clicking on the Applications, Internet, Chromium Web Browser link, it runs the new chromium-browser script which just makes us a temp directory that Chrome will run in, then calls the Chrome browser.

Easy!
