Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the flash player installed onto my centos desktop.When i go to the adobe site, I click on the YUM for Linux version, then install it, and PC says "/tmp/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch-1.rpm is already installed" - but it's not working.
With the yum repo installed, you then need to start a terminal (Applications->System Tools->Terminal, I think -- I don't use gnome, so I am not sure), then in the terminal window you type:
sudo yum -y install flash_player
Assuming you are loged in as a sudo enabled user (and you really should NOT be loged in as root). Sudo will ask for a password -- enter your user's password.
So then tried downloading the .tar.gz for linux version, and PC asks me which program to open to install it, and i don't have a clue.
Then I try downloading the .rpm version for linux, and my pc says "/tmp/flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm is already installed", but it's still not working.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks anyone.
