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
rpmforge has the flash plugin, but there's also a repository available from adobe itself, which offers that.
I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued.
The centos-media repo is not what you think it is - look inside the .repo file :)
I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not.
What makes you think that the package is called libflashplayer?
Googling for CentOS+flash
Have you searched with yum?
Yes, I did, after which I attempted to install flash-plugin mozilla-swfdec swfdec swftools - the packages listed that appeared to be relevant. It failed with various dependencies, which I could not resolve, which is why I thought I must be missing a repo. However, I have just managed to install flash-plugin by itself. It seems I was distracted by all the dependencies which must have been for swfdec.
