HOWTO: Install Flock on Ubuntu Hardy

**danielesalatti** · August 8th, 2008

Ok, this is my first tutorial here...

Hoping to do a useful thing I have set up a repository for Ubuntu Hardy and I have loaded in it some packages from the GetDeb project. One of this packages is the Flock Browser.

In this tutorial I'll explain how to set up your Hardy box to use my repository and how to install Flock.

To begin with, we need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, so open a shell and issue the following command:

Code:

sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list

Now append the following three lines at the end of the file:

Code:

# SN's Repository
2. deb http://www.salatti.net/repo/ hardy-salatti main contrib non-free
3. deb-src http://www.salatti.net/repo/ hardy-salatti main contrib non-free

Save (CTRL + O) and close the file (CTRL + X).

Update APT sources by issuing the command:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

And install Flock:

Code:

sudo apt-get install flock

Hope this helped...

i dont think this repository works anymore

No, it's not working at the moment.

Since the repos don't work now, an alternate method for installing Flock is simply to download and install the .deb package for your particular version of Ubuntu from the following link.

http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=flock

If there's a getdeb repo available, that information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm testing this repo currently, looks like it's working just fine and it does have Flock for Hardy as well as Intrepid.
