Flock 2.0 Adobe Flash Plugin on Ubuntu

Posted on by

I ran into an issue getting Flash working with Flock browser.  Being a tinkerer, I found out that you can just copy the link for flash from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and paste it into the plugins folder of Flock(/home/user/Documents/flock/plugins in my case).

So, hopefully this helps in the adoption of using Flock/Flash.  Quite a quick fix as well.

Peace.

Update:

Since a lot of traffic seems to come looking for flash fixes for ubuntu, I figure I should expand on this entry some.  The file you are looking for is typically called libflashplayer.so and it isn’t always in the above location.  It can also be found in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ as well.

Another option you have, if you used apt-get to install the adobe-flashplugin package, you will find this same libflashplayer.so file in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin and can copy this file over to flock/plugins/ directory as well.

 Further questions/help feel free to reply here or email me, oz@inverseflux.com.

Peace

That is correct.  All day, Tucson, Arizona.  Please for the love of God and all that is Holy, my anus is bleeding.  I’m not sure what The Rejected and Voting have in common, but I’m pretty sure that if everyone doesn’t get out there and pretend to care about America for a moment, then our anuses will be bleeding.

Too soon?

Seriously, go vote.  Matt Damon said not too.

Matt Daaaaamon.  Sorry, its been on the brain since I saw that clip.  Can you believe I still haven’t seen the movie?  How lame am I?

Anyway, if you spent the time reading all this, least you could do is go vote.  Seriously, you have all day to do.  I’m sure if you called in to work saying, “Hey – running a little bit late, I wanted to vote.” that they wouldn’t fire you.  If they did, least you know what Congress-person to call and complain about it too.

Peace.
