The best way I find to do this is in a terminal install the following:
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras lubuntu-restricted-addons
This will install flash plugin along with all the other codecs you'll need to play dvd's mp3 etc.
in fact you can find the details on this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
good luck.

why not install chromium-browser from the repository it works for me.
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
It's the open source chrome and is basically the same.

does it need a different entry in the source.list file? apt is unable to locate it!

Try updating your program database:
sudo apt-get update
And no, chromium comes in Ubuntu's repo, so no need for external PPA.
