What are you saying? You just have to enable Nonfree repos and install flash-player-plugin.

Hello
Thanks I just install M2 and I m goiing to config all the repos now

Please have a look at our MAQeia for flash player plugin: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=880

hello
That s a good answer,I lookat,very long and interesting about FlashP...
The pb is that I m new in M2,just 3 days ago install,and in KDE I tried to config activate all depots by URPMI.Ok I find gurpmi and see it s installed I try to run it nuts it don t work;
As I described me in M around the work,I m an old guy,who had tried the first linuxs in year 75/80.Now it s better but too much non interesting gadgets.As I go on ,lots of pbs appears!!!First I tried Ubuntu horrible vers 12.10.
Thanks

Please, step by step. What is your actual problem now? And please don't try to mangle everything together, makes it more confusing for supporters.
Please check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management first, then come back and ask your questions.
Also please open a terminal and show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active

yes very interesting.I d to learn more and go slowly,ruturnhere when I m OK with URPMI

well I have do it.But there is no informations in it about Adobe Flash Player;
All that I know about is that Adobe do not more provide FP for Linux in Firefox,only in Google Chrome!
I find no replacement in Mageia for it......

You are not correct. Adobe still provide flash-player for firefox on linux. You can find a package on Adobe's web site. It is better, however, to install the Mageia package:
MCC (Mageia Control Centre) - Manage software - Configure media sources: make sure that the nonfree medium is enabled
MCC - Manage Software - Install & Remove software: type flash in the search box and hit Enter. You'll see the flash-player-plugin listed.

A more complete guide to installing software in Mageia is in the wiki page linked to earlier:

OK I find it on CCM,but it s an update from Adobe and then it dwnld FP.But as I see on the french site of Adobe I fear this vers is for 64bits,and I m in 32 i386!
But I do not find any original M2
FP for browsers vers 11.2.202.280 ?Thanks for your kinds answers

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmf -f -m --name flash-player-plugin | sort

Hello
I do it give a lot of Nonfree Updates for FP 11.2...... i586!!!
Not any i386!!I d seen that A did no more supply linux FP for Firefox only Google Chrome,Ithink Firefox is i386 and Gc i586.A was never very clear as he is unique it s a king!!! So I think there is no solution,no mather my girl can go on Win 7 where I d an FP ok

Sorry but your writing is quite confusing to me.

Mageia only provides i586 and x86_64 packages, Firefox from the Mageia repositories is also i586. Why do you think you need i386?
Also Adobe still supplies Flashplayer for linux, but only for security updates and bugfixes, no new releases.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep firefox
firefox --version

It would help me translate/understand you if I knew what your native language is.

I don't see where you acknowledge that you followed any of the previous advice. Have you added repositories properly? Have you tried installing flashplayer using the graphic installer in the Mageia control center? If so, what happened, was there any error?

Is your operating system 32 bit? If so you must install a 32 bit flash. If your operating system is 64 bits, you can still install a 32 bit firefox and a 32 bit flash plugin. Sometimes this works better than trying to use a 64 bit plugin. You can run 32 bit software on a 64 bit system but not the other way around; 64 bit software won't even install on a32 bit system.

Yes I know all that,I min i386 so can nt support 64b.Allthe depots are quite installed.I will try in graphic mode,but I think as all FP now are in i586 I will have problemes.I will tell you.But if this remain unsolved no matter,I have FP 10 on W 7.But our discussion has learn me much as new on M2,but very old in informatic
began with Dos PCTOOLS Win 3.1 first linux then an old Unix and programming in C++
And now I m 84 .......

Excuse me I realize that I m telling a stupidity Yes 64bits go well for 32!!!I m going too old!!
Yes my english is not quite good,I m french but my father was Danish I will try your advice to install FP in graphic mode,and tell you the result Thanks

Actually it doesn't matter if you install it via the graphical package management in Mageia control center, or via a terminal.
I'd prefer terminal, as you only need to do (as root)

Code: Select all

urpmi flash-player-plugin

and don't need to wait for some graphical interface to open or search for a package in long lists.
And you could also directly copy&paste the output of that command here, so we can see directly if it worked or not.

hello
I had the time this week to try must go in hospital,(not serious)I will try your terminal cde next week.I wonder if Adobe FP is not a plug in of Mozilla or Google?I will also try to config Firefox with FP if it is a plug in???

Please try that command first and post the output here before trying anything else.

Hello
Now I had another pb! Try your terminal Cde urpmi ,it answer carl@localhost Cde not found .I see that other commands give the same answer,I think in the profile must be a line with PATH??Tanks

urpmi can only be run as root.

OK but I forgot howw to enter as root!!!

In terminal type:

Code: Select all

su -

...and enter root-password.

You should only copy the following line in the terminal as root:

urpmi flash-player-plugin

But it seems you copied the topic above that code box too. That will not work. Either you copy only the content
of the code box (as shown above) or you use the blue, clickable link "SELECT ALL" in the topic of the code box

No I enter the good line Cde,but I forgot to su- root PWord!
