I have fresh installation of Opensuse Thumbleweed LXDE. I need flash player, so I found it on software.opensuse.org:

https://software.opensuse.org/package/flash-player

but during installation I see:

Internet is working:

but I don’t get response from Opensuse.org - maybe it is blocked because web page is working.
I’m not using any proxy.

Adobe flash-player has been removed for Tumbleweed and LEAP, you can still get it from packman or adobe, see this

https://en.opensuse.org/Adobe_Flash_Player#How_to_still_get_Adobe_Flash_Player

#3

This repo doesn’t exist, and flash-player has completely been removed from the distribution recently anyway.

Add the Packman repo if you haven’t already (you need it for other multimedia stuff anyway) and install flash-player from there (i.e. either with YaST or with “sudo zypper in flash-player”). They also have chromium-pepper-flash (Google’s updated flash player for Chromium), and freshplayer-plugin which allows you to use chromium-pepper-flash with Firefox and other browsers that support netscape plugins.

You can find the Packman repo in the “Community Repositories” list: Enter YaST->Software Management, click on “Add” and choose “Community Repositories”.

But is Packman repo good for Thumbleweed? Isn’t it created for stable release? May I have some conflicts with updated in Thumbleweed packages?

Maybe it should be removed/changed software.opensue.org software search?

EDIT:
In community repos I see only two:
Source: URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
Debug: URL: http://download.opensuse.org/debug/tumbleweed/repo/oss/

You are right, there was Packman repo when I was using Leap/stable version but in Thumbleweed I don’t see it.

#5

You can use:


zypper ar -f -n packman http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ packman

or substitute a different mirror if you prefer. As far as I know, “packman.inode.at” currently redirects to a Czech mirror.

#6

Packman is available for Tumbleweed too.

You are right, there was Packman repo when I was using Leap/stable version but in Thumbleweed I don’t see it.

Right, they haven’t added it to that list yet (for Tumbleweed), I forgot.
Should happen in the next weeks AFAIK…

But just use the command nrickert posted to add the repo to your system.

Working!
Thank you!
