Once upon a time, Kay Schenk said:

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).

    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

  • It’s still supported on C7:

    $ yum list | grep flash flash-plugin.x86_64 32.0.0.314-release @adobe-linux-x86_64

  • A GREAT MYSTERY! See inline…

    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?

  • Thanks for lettings us know, I already gave up checking as they didn’t manage to fix it for so many weeks.

    Seems they finally found out that upgrading their build hosts to the latest greatest distribution was not the smartest idea :-)

  • Hi all —

    Yes, I too just got an update on Flash 32.0.0.330

    pushed to my system. Firefox seems to recognize it as a plugin and it works fine.

    Trying to install the plugin provided by Adobe site wasn’t successful for me.:-(
