Hi all, The last 2 years or so there has been no real solution to the Firefox and Adobe Flash Player installation fiasco on a x86_64 system. I have tried all variants of installation found with search machines in the internet. I recently installed a few Mac OSX 10.x (PPC & Int.) and Ubuntu systems. None of them had the problems with Adobe's Flash Player. Why does openSUSE still have the problem? I also have no problems with Konqueror and Flash Player on openSUSE. I use it now for all flash requirements, even if a newer version can not be installed as it suggests. Firefox works with flash player in OSX and Ubuntu. A normal user (which we try to attract to migrate to openSUSE), that gets to a website with Firefox and is asked to install the plug-in, will have to select it. It starts to install and then says "Installaton failed". They do a manual installation from the link that is given to do it in the firefox plug-in finder service. I select rpm and it installs dierctly with the software installer. The software installer then reports that flash plugin could not be installed. The rpm failure message is "already installed". Copying all the sugestions' /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so does nothing to help. Maunual installations of the *.tar.gz does not work either. There used to be a page on openSUSE at http://opensuse-community.org/Multimedia and http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats. No joy either. If you follow the hint to un-install all gstreamer packages, you come into a dependency hell. No normal user survives that! I got it to work for a short week until openSUSE destroyed it with an online update. How in the name of Hl can we attract normal users that will need flash player on almost all websites they use? It is a disaster! No normal user can solve the problem without CLI. Please supply a genuine fix, or sort out openSUSE's way of handling the problem in the future please, ... please, ...please! :-( Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
