whenever i try to install flash player on openSUSE it gives this message :

Retrieving package flash-player-11.2.202.346-38.1.x86_64 (1/2), 4.9 MiB ( 18.4 MiB unpacked)
Retrieving: flash-player-11.2.202.346-38.1.x86_64.rpm …[error]

Error code: User abort

I use openSUSE 13.1 with KDE 4.11.5

Hm, maybe your disk is full? (zypper downloads the packages to /var/cache/zypp/)

df -h

How exactly are you trying to install it? (I suppose “zypper in flash-player”, right?)

/var/cache/zypp/)

Code:

df -h

Hi
The user needs to agree with the license, so if installing via zypper
you cannot use the -n option (need to press q and then enter yes).

there are still free 9 GBs on my suse installation disk , i do use zypper in
also i did agree to the license agreement

Are you using btrfs as filesystem maybe?
Then it could be full despite df (or other programs) saying there are 9GB free.

In that case try to remove some snapshots in YaST->Snapper.
