[11-02-15 04:35]: [...] I don't understand why bother shipping Flash Player from Packman, since adobe is doing a rpm package which is working out of the box on openSUSE and is even providing a yum repository which is working nicely with zypper.
The simplest way is to direct users to do: zypper ar --check --refresh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/ adobe
then zypper in flash-plugin
and that's it. This way, we know the flash plugin will ALWAYS be up to date, until Adobe decided to kill it in the future.
I've taken the liberty to edit the wiki page to add this option as the first option (and removed the "local repository" option, since there is no point in documenting this).
zypper ar --check --refresh http://linuxdownlo9ad.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/ adobe Adding repository 'adobe' ....................................................................[done] Can't find a valid repository at given location: [adobe|http://linuxdownlo9ad.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/] Repository type can't be determined. Could not determine the type of the repository. Please check if the defined URIs (see below) point to a valid repository:http://linuxdownlo9ad.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
Also doesn't work: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/
Avoid the typo in your first command and try again :p There is a 9 too much... --
