Many readers complained yesterday that Flock browser I reviewed about yesterday [here] had one major problem - It cannot play flash content. I too faced the same problem and finally here is the solution:
Fire up the terminal and paste this in it:
sudo nautilus
Fire up the terminal and paste this in it:
sudo nautilus
Navigate to the folder:
usr/lib/firefox/plugins and copy the only file present there 'flashplugin-alternative.so'
to this folder:
/usr/share/flock/plugins/
Restart Flock and you will have flash working.

ReplyDeleteThe above didn't work for my in Ubuntu Ibex. However, coping
ReplyDelete/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
to the Flock directory as stated worked after restarting Flock.
"and copy the only file present there"
ReplyDeleteonly?
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete"and copy the only file present there"
only?
sorry if I'm wrong, what would be the correct sentence?
@ Dragon: Many thanks to you. You made my day. I was nearly giving up. But now I found the solution for my Flock Flash problem. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I copied all firefox plugins from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins to /usr/share/flock/plugins , but it still doesn't work! Anyone has an idea? I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 64 bit version. Thanx!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that i've installed the deb package from www.getdeb.com and that it's flock 2.0.3 .
ReplyDeleteThanks. Now my Flock installation plays Flash just like Firefox did.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletei use ubuntu 9.05 and flock 2.5.
i have had the same sound problem with flash 9.
i solved the problem by installing flash 10 from the adobe website using the ubuntu .deb.
after this i linked the libflashplayer.so with:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /home/user/.flock/plugins
and sudo chown -R user:group /home/user/.flock/plugins/*
recognize that the flashplayer from the original ubuntu package is in another path.
i have also linked the plugins from the firefox and mozilla files.
that's works form me. hope you will find this usefull :)
Just wanted to say thank you.

PS: just one thing to add: I had to create the folder, first (flock version 2.5.6) ->
