Where do the Firefox and the flash plugin rpms come from?
Philipp
Firefox v3.0.6-1.4 x86_64 is at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/ But in fact it didn't install, and FF is still v3.0.5. I don't understand why going through the motions twice had an effect on whether the CNN page was or was not rendered.
The location of the Macromedia Flash v9.0.152 i586 plugin is http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3
The location of the Adobe Flash v10.0.153 is not given, which makes it hard to understand why YaST finds it, lists it, and checks the box opposite the name of this file.
Is it possible the repository from which it was originally obtained was removed from the set of repositories you have configured?
The configured/enabled repositories now are" Packman openSUSE_10.3 Main Repository (Non-OSS) openSUSE-10.3-Updates Main Repository (OSS) Where else could it be?
Also, if you install RPMs manually, they show up in YaST, but naturally have no associated repository. You said you'd attempted unsuccessfully to install an Adobe-supplied Flash version 10. Was that an RPM?
Aha! I begin to understand. The file came from the Adobe site, not from any of the repositories. Yes, it was an RPM. I think I have to return to the Adobe site, and try to reinstall the file, this time according to the instructions. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
