I had to reinstall my OpenSUSE 11.2 64-bit system from scratch and I get pretty much everything to work again, except for Flash. It did work on my previous install and I went back to the forum instructions to do so but something is amiss. I also could not go to 11.3 because some critical proprietary software that shall remain unnamed is not compatible. The main difference as far as I know is that this install is completely up to date and I did so before installing anything else.
Going to Yast to install Flash it seems like it wants to downgrade hundreds of packages, so I am highly suspicious. The claimed problem is:
Yeah, I did find it too. The issue is that the moment I select gtk2-32-bits as the the instructions, it asks me to downgrade 100s of packages with the same reason as I stated… something about libcairo.
Decompress the file there and you’ll get just one file called ‘libflashplayer.so’
Copy it to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and you are done, restart your browsers and you’re done!
NOTE: This is a stand-alone file and does not update itself.
