Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Chromium and Firefox issues
0
I am totally new to Linux. I'm working on a Dell Vostro 1000 and installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32bit yesterday, alongside Windows 10.
I managed to solve issues with the Broadcom Network Adapter and am now able to use Ethernet and Wireless connections.
But now I'm stuck:
- I want to sync my Google account so would like to use Chromium, but it does not boot.
- I want to watch Netflix and am unable to do so on Firefox. I cannot install Chrome because I am on a 32 bit system.
Please help!

Why 14.04? It will be unsupported soon. I'd suggest Lubuntu 18.04 that still supports 32 bit. Also you can watch netflix on firefox (at least in 18.04)

14.04 because my computer does not fit the recommended requirements for more recent versions of Ubuntu.

I infact suggested Lubuntu that is suited for older computers and requires 1 GB of RAM, plus a Pentium 4, Pentium M, or AMD K8 CPU or newer. You can download it here

@dsSTORM thank you. If I install Lubuntu, will I then be able to use Chromium and watch Netflix? I had quite some trouble with Ubuntu, when I did the clean install, it did not recognize the Ethernet and WiFi adapter. If possible I would like to avoid having to troubleshoot this as well with Lubuntu.

Broadcom network cards are really frustrating to work with, I think you'll have to redo the procedure that got your card working in the new install too, I'm sorry. Another thing is that I don't think chromium supports 32bit anymore (i know chrome doesn't). But as I said , you can view netflix in firefox.
