Hi there,
So I was pretty excited to install the new flash. I went under software management and uninstalled flash 10.X and the placeholder. I tried to download the rpm for flash 11.x it downloaded quickly. I ran it with yast. it said do you want to install this file, I clicked yes it it brought up the thinking bar for a sec never asked for a password and then it just shuts down. and nothing happens. I try flash sites on firefox and it says I still have 10.x. How do you install this even command line style. It does not seem to clean up very well.
far as i know, this still works:

update, I added my download folder as a repo, and located the flash rpm in yast installed it and the placeholder at the same time. It now says I have that version of flash. It is still running poorly for me, jittering and such I think I am going to dump suse and try a different distro. The drivers are not communicating efficiently or something and when I can go to school and play flash games at lightning speed when they are running firefoxe 3.6 something is wrong.

why are you running Firefox 3.6? i’m running 7.01!
what openSUSE are you running?
are you keeping it updated with the security patches available??
and, btw Flash is a pig! it runs poorly for most folks…especially
those with 64 bit Linux systems…
and, if you don’t have the best video driver you must expect bad flash
performance…what is your graphics and driver?
for games i recommend a good game system (they make a lot of them in
Redmond Washington)…and then keep your work and important stuff on
openSUSE where the virus and key loggers can’t get to it…

their is the output from each the way. The way I installed it was through yast software management. I removed Adobe placeholder and Flash 10.X then I added a local directory as my repository that contained flash-plugin-11.0.1.152-release.x86_64.rpm 6.4 MB file. I searched found it in yast software management. I selected it and the placeholder. It said 11.4 MB install. It installed without error.
I did try to download the RPM and just select run with software management, but the install bar would come up and it just would not install. That is why I added it as a repo to shake things up a bit.

You do not have a flash rpm installed.
run: rpm -qf /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
The way I installed it:
I did nothing. I have the multimedia repo enabled, Yast offered to upgrade
flash, and I accepted. Done.

Weird, I added the multimedia repository and I do not see flash 11.0.1.152 in there. I downloaded flash-plugin-11.0.1.152-release.x86_64.rpm into my directory “Downloads”. I fired up yast package manager and found flash-plugin version available 11.0.1.152-release. selected it and it installed without any error. The other flash player I can install is 10.3.183.10-0.2.1 . I have had nothing but problems, jittering, can not close flash windows after they are open example #1 Chat Avenue - Free chat rooms for friends and family](http://www.chat-avenue.com), or flash will just go to grey screen and crash. It says I have 11.0.1.152 in firefox . I just don’t feel like I should be having all of these problems.
Also I ran that command and it said
office:/home/rut # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
file /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so is not owned by any package
Yea I just don’t know
Clean up all the mess and just get the tarball, grab libflashplayer.so
remove the libflashplayer.so you have now
put the new one in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins

That’s not from openSUSE.

“Clean up all the mess and just get the tarball, grab libflashplayer.so”
That sounds like an excellent idea. I have been trying to study the linux filesystem its complexity compared to windows is greater, at least in my mind. What is the repository address? I ran the command
zypper ar -f -n packman-multimedia http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Multimedia packman-multimedia
“So, find out who owns /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so”
Well I tried to run as root and my one user name. What is the command to find that out?

The same you did a while back:
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

ok so the file was owned by the rpm I had downloaded off of the Adobe website, got yea. Well I have everything cleaned up and I installed flash 11 through the multimedia repository. It still jitters when ever I play games, watch video clips or do anything else flash related. I guess I will just wait until more improvements come out. Thanks for all the help
Then I would make sure desktop effects is off.
Then perhaps check in the graphics guides. Maybe you need to tweak that side of things or even use a updated driver?
Well turning off desktop effects did seem to help a little. I was using the driver on the suse repositories, but with hopes of solving this problem 4 months ago I started to install the nvidia driver the hard way, the current version I am using is 285.05.09 which is the newest available to me I believe. What do you mean tweak do you know of a write up for this? I like to learn.
So, I did not realize that you could clear out the cache of websites in flash. I deleted all the stored information and it seems to be running pretty good. So is it how flash stores information on the computer that is a problem? I have an ssd hard drive so I would not think it would be too hard access information on my computer in a timely matter.
By tweak I mean there is a nvidia config tool in Packman ‘nvidia-settings’
As for flash storing info, I don’t know
Flash here works without any special intervention or settings
