It nearly always fails in one way or another: It goes through the motions, but won't start installing, or whatever's installed doesn't work. * Getting Flash to install from a webpage that says I need to add a plug-in, and it tries to arrange it. What has worked just about flawlessly for me, is to install the Adobe repo, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ pick the YUM for Linux option, download and install it. Then, in the command line, as root, do: yum install flash-plugin libflashsupport Afterwards, any time you do a yum update, or use the updating graphical doodah that notifies you from the taskbar panel, it's self maintaining. I'd be tempted to remove all flash software you've installed, then try installing it the way I've outlined above. Do the removal properly, if it's been RPM installed, then RPM erase it.

This is these are the same procedures that I went through prior. The first 'rpm' results in the message that I already have Flash installed' The second, 'yum' says that there is nothing to do. Fedora believes that it is fully installed, but, Fire Fox does not pick up the plug in. It is as if, the install process does not load it into the directory or file where Fire Fox believes it should be to be picked up. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I just had a few questions and would appreciate if you c 1- I installed the adobe flash player, but when I explore some intenet pages which require flash player, it says missing flash player. Any one knows how can I resolve this problem? 2- can anybody please tell me how to download and install latest nvida driver for my computer? 3- I tried to install TeXlive 2008. so after doing perl install-tl, it gave the following: TeXLive::TLUtils::setup_programs failed at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1057. wget --version failed (status 32512): No such file or directory Output is: Can't exec wget: No such file or directory at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1060. Couldn't set up the necessary programs. Cannot continue with installation. Please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you please help me.

I installed the Flash player using the Adobe RPM, and update it with yum update, along with everything else. That's a question I wish I knew the answer to. I've suspected that it may have been drug along during and update but I'm certain. To the best of my recollection, however, I simply installed two versions from Adobe. I have also wondered if they changed to install location but I've spent no time investigating. I should really keep better logs on that machine. ~~R -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
