[opensuse] Flash plug-in; Timezone
Hello, all-- Re: 9.3 I have Flash version 7.x, and I can't get rid of it to try and get the latest version, which I seem to need on a regular basis. When I go to YaST and select "Add or Remove Programs," I can get Flash to come up on the right hand window, but when I select one of the two top selections (the third is supposed to be something that will fowl up the kernel) and try to delete it, nothing happens. I have tried to use the YaST program in the text mode, but I can't seem to get that to do anything. On another note, in the console mode I can see a Timezone update, again I can't get that to work either, but I can't see that update in the GUI version of YaST. So I need help on two fronts: please tell me how to get the latest version of the Flash plug-in installed (I think, but I'm not certain, the s/w is on the machine, somewhere) and: how do I get the Timezone program--which must be on a remote server somewhere, but YaST probably knows that--to install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

============ This might be a job for... Shell, man! Usually if the gui way is not working for you and you're sure that the SuSE rpm of flash is installed (rpm -q <correct flash name>) to check. You can use the shell/konsole as root to remove it manually. Open shell window type: su root password rpm -e <flash filename> All done removing file! Or, you can download the two files you want to update, again using the shell as root to update with: rpm -Uhv <filename.rpm> That will not only remove the old stuff, but update to the new versions as well. Or, you can use Yum or Smart, I believe smart works in the shell, to do the getting of the file and updating it. (yum -y update <filename.rpm>) from the preset repository. You'll have to ask one of the "smart" guys how it does that. ;-) Happy updating!

I would probably recommend removing the "SuSE" Flash package, and not "Upgrading" the SuSE version to the Adobe version found on their website. On Friday 23 February 2007 18:57, BandiPat wrote:

I'd recommend first seeing what's actually installed, i.e., rpm -q flash-plugin If the above yields "flash-plugin-9.0.31.0-release", then there's no sense in removing it... because that's what you want to have installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

rpm -q flash-plugin yields flash-plugin not installed rpm -q flash-player yields flash-player-7.0.69.0-1.1 what I want, from either SuSE or Adobe, or whoever, is the above-mentioned 9.0.31.0-2.1. I have run the YOU routine, as someone here suggested I do, but it doesn't seem to update to the new version. All the updates listed today refer to foreign languages and some kind of problems of dependencies in OO, but OO works, so I'm going to leave it alone. --doug rpm -qPa does not show any patch for flash-player -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you recently run YaST Online Update (YOU). If you have installed Flash 7 it will be updated to 9. If you already removed ver. 7 install it again, otherwise it will not show up in YOU.
