Hi everybody,
I have a problem. I installed 11.3 milestone2, KDE 4.4. All hardware and software are working so good. But I can’t watch flash animation on firefox. Because, I cant install flash player. I tried different browser (opera, crome etc.) but didnt. I think problem there is on KDE. I downloded and installed from Adobe’s webpage. browser didnt see plugin. Please help me. Thank you for at all.
if you are new to openSUSE you should download and install openSUSE
11.2 because 11.3 is still in testing and if you know what you are
doing how are you going to test and provide feedback to the
development team…
besides, you might wreck your machine there are BIG bugs in 11.3 still…
get 11.2 here: http://software.opensuse.org/
but, if you absolutely must have M2, then please post to the correct
Pre-Release/Beta forum here:

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit openSUSE?
If you’re running 32-bit, open a console, switch to superuser, and then run these commands:
zypper addrepo -f http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.3 packman
zypper addrepo -f http://www.opensuse-guide.org/repo/11.3 libdvdcss
zypper install ffmpeg flash-player libdvdcss libxine1-codecs w32codec-all lame
If you’re running 64-bit, then I’d repeat the above, except for I’d remove flash-player from the last command. That pulls in a 32-bit flash player plugin with a whole slew of 32-bit libraries into a 64-bit version of Firefox through a wrapper.
Since you’re willing to run beta software (11.3 Milestone 2) you should consider trying the 64-bit version of Flash, which can be found here:
Adobe Labs - Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux
You need to extract the plugin, and then manually copy it to a plugin directory. I believe I had to create the folder first.
As your user account (not root)
mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
Then copy the plugin to that folder.
