Installing Flock, “the social web browser”, is quite easy in Ubuntu.
First, download the latest Flock .deb package from GetDeb. Once the package is downloaded, double-click to start installation. After the installation is complete you can open Flock by going to the Applications menu -> Internet -> Flock.
If you have any problems installing the Flash plugin in Flock, here’s an easy way to get it to work (supposing you have it installed in Firefox):
Open Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run the following command.
sudo nautilus /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
You will be asked for your password. After you enter it, Nautilus would open the above directory. Inside the directory there will be a file called “flashplugin-alternative.so”. Copy it and close the window. Then run the following command in Terminal.
nautilus /usr/share/flock/plugins/
Once again Nautilus would open the directory mentioned. Paste the file inside the directory and close the window. Then close Terminal and restart Flock.
