I use Mageia3 with all upgrades. Everything was gong well until very recently I cannot watch any youtube or any other animation on Firefox ( Qupzilla is OK).
I keep getting a message to look for a plugin but it just goes on and on and I don´t know which plugin since all worked well until now
Also, but I don´t know if it is related, I cannot use google maps anymore.
Thanks for your help

Please post the output of
- Code: Select all
rpm -qa | grep flash
And what plugins are listed in firefox when you enter
about:plugins in firefox adress bar?

Please next time use code tags as explained in
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogvWhy don't you use the flash plugin from Mageia repos? Please read our MAQeia for flash player plugin:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=880and maybe in
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5337Essentially you want to do the following as root
- Code: Select all
urpme flash-plugin ; urpmi flash-player-plugin

Thank you
I assumed I had it installed since everything was going without a hitch.
Done it. seems to work but still problems with
maps.google.com
won´t load but perhaps thie is another subject. Since both went off together....but now it doesn´t load, not even on Qupzilla

maps.google.com doesn't use flash, only streetview uses flash IIRC.
Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks
