Re: Need info on adobe flash player plugin 32 for CentOS7

Hello again. All good now. I followed the instructions in

https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

to the letter using yum from root, and all good now. I was missing the PGP key and thus no TOTAL install.

Adobe stopped releasing Flash for Linux a while back.  IIRC the only
"supported" Flash on Linux is distributed as a part of Google Chrome
(and that's going away sometime soon too, Chrome on all platforms will
no longer support Flash).

Don't know about C7 but I just yum updated my C6 system.

And on Centos 7:

(tigger pts2) $ rpm -qi flash-plugin
Name        : flash-plugin
Version     : 32.0.0.314

Summary     : Adobe Flash Player NPAPI
Description :
Adobe Flash Plugin 32.0.0.314

See if the following helps:

(tigger pts2) $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo [adobe-linux-x86_64]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

This did indeed help. The Adobe repo appears in my update list. I install NPAPI version. All LOOKS good at that point from the gnome software app gpk-application. I look at what's been installed etc.

Then, as soon as I leave this environment, and get back into the Software app, flash is no longer installed! I wish I was joking about this but I've done this 3 times and I'm not going to do it again. :(

I see that some Adobe entries in Firefox's current blocklist.xml. But...what is going on here? Are we absoluting FORBIDDEN in any way from using Flash? Any insights?
