Installing Facebook Photo Plug-In (FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz)

[Autumn7]

I am trying to install the Facebook photo Plugin and can not seem to access it. Please note I just switched yesterday from Windows XP to Ubuntu, so I am just getting used to it. The downloaded file is named "FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz" I have tried opening: FacebookPlugIn1.0.3.tar.gz/FacebookPlugin_Install.sh but it opens as a read-only file And I tried opening FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz/libnfbook_1_0_3.so but nothing happens. Also I have tried to follow the solutions for similar problems posted in earlier forms including creating a new file in home/user/.mozilla/plugin and extracting file "libnfbook_1_0_3.so" to this location, but it did not work. Perhaps this is a slighly updated facebook plugin. Please Help! Any Solutions/Information would be really appreciated.

do:

sudo chmod a+x FacebookPlugin_Install.sh

and let me know if it works then.

Thankyou for replying. I tried entering :
sudo chmod a+x FacebookPlugin_Install.sh
But it keeps saying:
chmod: cannot access `FacebookPlugin_Install.sh': No such file or directory

Are you in the directory that you saved the file in?

[Autumn7]

I think so. I have the file saved to my desktop. Also copied the file to home/user/.mozilla/plugin.

Where did you get this plugin from?

I was trying to post multiple photos on Facebook. I clicked on "Create an Album with many photos". Then a pop-up window opened stating: "The Facebook Plug-in is required to upload photos. Please install it now." And I clicked on "Install" and "download facebook plugin"

this does not work. im using google chrome for ubuntu and was on facebook today and had the same problem. this is a new plugin that facebook is asking specifically linux users to download and install. the file name is: FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz

i am navigated to the correct directory with root privs, thnx!

Do I enter root "privs" into the terminal? ...sorry I am really not good with this stuff yet.

to get root privileges in terminal just type sudo before the rest of the command then you are prompted for the root password (that you setup)


examples:

-to navigate to the directory that google chrome downloaded the file to-
nV@Elemented:~$ cd /home/envy/Downloads/

-for root-
nV@Elemented:~$ sudo chmod a+x Facebook.shblahblah
