I should add that you do not want to install Flock in "/", the root directory.

If you wish to install it for all users on the machine and not just for yourself, a much better idea is to install Flock into /usr/local/lib/flock-2.5 (or whatever your version of Flock is).

You can use the Firefox installation in /usr/lib as an example to get you started.

(Historical Note: /usr is intended for software supplied with your OS, while /usr/local is intended for software you install from other sources.)

To add Flock to the Ubuntu menu system, take the following steps:

1. Right-click on "Applications", select "Edit Menus".
2. Click on "Internet" in the left pane.
3. Click on the "New Item" button. This opens the "Create Launcher" dialog; fill it in as follows:

Type: Application
Name: Flock
Command: /WHERE/YOU/INSTALLED/FLOCK/flock-browser
Comment: The social web browser

4. To make it pretty, click on the icon; this will open the "Browse Icons" dialog.
5. Click the "Browse" button, and navigate to the "chrome/icons/default" folder of your Flock installation.
6. Click on default48.png, and click OK.
7. Click OK again on the "Create Launcher" dialog.
8. Close the menu editor.

You now have a Flock menu item under "Applications/Internet". If you wish, you can copy that to either the panel at the top, or to your desktop by right-clicking the "Flock" menu item and making the appropriate selection.

Enjoy!

This has worked for me:

As of today, a web server is still listening on port 8080 at a5g.at. Index.php returns zero bytes, so this cannot be a good place to visit.

DNS identifies this as 78.46.88.116, with the canonical hostname static.116.88.46.78.clients.your-server.de. (Don't go there.)

Either you, or some software on your computer is instructing Flock to visit that site. Flock has no reason to visit that site on its own. If you don't either, a good virus scan may be in order.

I have no answer, but I can confirm that I have seen this problem with Flock 2.5 on Ubuntu on a Toshiba laptop.

The exact same software mix has no problems on my own Compaq EVO.

To whichever "pacemaker" you are referring, the answer is "no". That would of course include the only remotely relevant reference I found, here: http://www.surina.net/pacemaker/

I just verified that Firefox runs successfully after installing and running Flock 2.5 on Ubuntu 8.10. – Marcus, on May 28, 2009 18:19
