For those who want to try Flock before then, there are two methods, using either a pre-packaged .deb, or a compressed file be downloaded and installed manually. A .deb package file may be found at getdeb.net/flock and installed using any|standard package installation method, or you download and extract the program using the following method:

  • Download Flock page for Linux.
  • Right click the file, choose Extract Here
  • Right click the desktop, choose Create Launcher

For command, click Browser and chose the file called 'flock' in the folder you just extracted.

  • Change to the directory you downloaded it to, then extract Flock into /opt:
 sudo tar -C /opt -xjvf flock-*.linux-i686.tar.bz2
 
  • Optionally, you can test Flock from the command line:

  • Create link and menu:

Removing Flock

This is untested but should work.

  • Remove the symbolic link
 sudo rm /usr/bin/flock
 
  • Remove the menu option
 sudo rm /usr/share/applications/Flock.desktop
 
  • Refresh gnome panel or kicker as shown above
  • Remove flock directory
 sudo rm -rf /opt/flock
 

Giving Flock access to Firefox plugins

Note: If you do this, do not uninstall Firefox

  • Rename old Flock plugins directory
 sudo mv /opt/flock/plugins /opt/flock/plugins.original
 
  • Link Flock plugins directory to Firefox plugins directory
 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins /opt/flock/plugins
