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
