[SOLVED] Can't install Flash in Mageia 5

[evaldas]

I choose Flash in install/remove software program, push "apply' button and it looks like it is installing but it returns to the same screen with Flash selected. When I close the window question "there is some packages selected, are you sure to quit" appears. How to overcome this?

I suppose you were trying to install flash-player-plugin?

That is a package that gets security updates very often. It does not contain flash, but it installs flash for you from the Adobe website.

The version you'd need now is flash-player-plugin-11.2.202.554-1.mga5.nonfree

If you cannot select that version, then update your media first (click on "File" => "Update media" => "Select all" => "Update" )

Do I have to do this every time?

What do you mean by every time - every time you do what?
