Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge epel.repo rpmforge.repo
I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued. I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not. I'm stuck. Any help, please?
The package name is 'flash-plugin' -- it comes from Adobe, and you appear to have Adobe's repo (adobe-linux-i386.repo). Try:
yum install flash-plugin
Thanks Robert. Once I realised that the google link had given me the wrong package name that's exactly what I did. I'm listening right now ;-)
