Flashplayer and Ubuntu 8.10

Definitely a problem here too. I've tried installing flash through the Flock browser, and it does, indeed, run through the install process, but when Flock restarts, it does not have Flash.

I found an answer here http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2008.... I don't know if it works, cuz I'm having other problems and haven't gotten there yet. :)

I have already tried that. I just tried again after removing and reinstalling Flock and it is still the same.

I no longer use Flock - it doesn't work, it is useless to me.........

The original question was posted 3 months ago - why are there no Flock developers in here with a proper working solution? I can only assume they do not care.......!

did you copy it from the firefox plugin folder to the flock plugin folder in your home directory? I just did it and it worked for me. From what I have read it is not a Flock problem, but how the plugins are handled. Apparently plugins are automatically put into the firefox folder. You can also download the plugin directly from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.... More info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Linux.... I have read that you can also try flashplugin-nonfree. More info: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/w....

Ok, I was able to fix this.

The version of Flock that I downloaded actually just unzips in to a folder and is run from there with the flock-browser command. Within this archive, there is a folder called "plugins" ... All you need to do is copy flashplugin-alternative.so from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins in to the plugins folder within your Flock program directory (then restart Flock).

Hope this helps.
