Mageia forum

Hello today i had to format my laptop and i guess everything went fine but now i try to open youtube.com even tho i have installed the flashplayer installed successfully but now seems like there's a problem somewhere the prvents me from opening youtube videos so what's the problem in this case thanks

Please, some more information.

What browser are you using, how have you installed which flash plugin, and are you running a i586 or 64bit system?
Also please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep flash

i'm using Chrome "google" and i tried the RPM package and the yum and both of then installed as they should exactly like what i did in the live CD but now they aren't working for some reason i don't know
and the output of the command you sent me is

Code: Select all

kipi-plugins-flashexport-1.9.0-3.mga1
flash-plugin-10.3.181.34-release

You used the RPM package which is offered directly from Adobe?
Please use the one from the non-free repository, you need to enable that first, for that got to
Mageia Control Center → Software Management → “Configure media sources for install and update”
and check that non-free_release and non-free_updates are enabled (the checkboxes in the first column)

After you know they are enabled, just install flash-player-plugin.

If you're using Google Chrome directly from Google, then you need to copy the plugin in chrome's plugin folder.
But i'd advise you to use chromium-browser packages from the software sources, so you get automatic updates
and have less problems with such plugins
