Flalsh Player not updated for 42.1?

**konsultor** · 15-Mar-2016, 07:00

I saw an update of flash to ...577 on 13.2 but not in 42.1 (still at ...569). Is that correct as of now?

It may still be building or being tested.

what repo's do you have as far as I can tell the 13.2 version of flash on non-oss-update is 411 and packman's is 569, packman will probably update flash soon.
577 is available from a few user obs repo's but I'm not sure adding extra repo's just for flash is a good idea.

If you want the latest version 11.2.202.577 you could download the .tar.gz from:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

extract the "libflashplayer.so" file and copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Which is the way I normally update flash player anyway

FYI I updated yesterday to 11.2.202.577 on Leap using the plugin .rpm from Adobe (not the full Flash player though).
Downloading flash-plugin-11.2.202.577-release.x86_64.rpm and issuing in a terminal as superuser:

Code:

# rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-11.2.202.577-release.x86_64.rpm

works as well.

For 13.2 (flash ...577) the repo is Packman (at ftp.gwdg.de). On the 42.1 machine I added download.adobe.com/linux/x86_64 in addition to Packman at ftp.fau.de, both active. My list of repos shows ftp.gwdg.de as well, but it is deactivated. Can't recall why, but could have been a change due to dependency mismatch when updating with Yast.
The repo list on the 42.1 machine includes two sites for Packman: ftp.gwdg.de (acrtive) and packman.inode.at (not active).

according to this
http://packman.links2linux.org/packa...-player/686521
packman's version of flash for 13.2 is 569
anyhow avoid adobe's release of flash for 2 reasons
#1 adobe does not sign it's rpm's so you will have problems updating with apper (on 13.x) or the plasma 5 update widget (LEAP)
#2 adobe has a different name for it's flash ie. flash-plugin instead of flash-player that opensuse uses so you can get in to dependency hell and have both versions installed, remove adobe's repo and get flash from packman, the packman build might be a day or two late but it's digitally signed and build with opensuse in mind.
