Hi Qin, Bob, Thanks for your suggestions. I tried the below two options: 1: Before modifying the repository BaseURLs, I tried several times with $ sudo yum install flash-plugin
With this, I got to the point where I get the message: Total download size: 3.9M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: But the download fails with the below error: http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/os/i386/flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror. Error downloading packages: Flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386: failure:i386/flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm from moblin: (256, 'No more mirrors to try.') 2: Based on Qin's inputs,I changed the config files moblin-devel.repo and moblin.repo (only two files in /etc/yum.repos.d). Now when I try to refresh the metadata, $ sudo yum reposlist I get the below error: Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/ia32/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: moblin. Please verify its path and try again I am stuck with this for a while now. Appreciate your inputs.

Modifying the BaseURLs could remove your problem. Steps: 1. Open each configure file located under /etc/yum.repos.d, and replace the baseurl value with the following: [moblin2] baseurl=http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/ia32/os/ [debuginfo] baseurl=http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/ia32/debug [source] baseurl=http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/source 2. Refresh the repo metadata. In a terminal # sudo yum clean all # sudo yum repolist If everything goes well, new repo information will be printed out. And now you can install the flash-plugin package either via Applications/Settings/ManageApplications GUI, or directly using YUM command in terminal # sudo yum install flash-plugin -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Spencer, Bob Sent: 2009年5月22日 4:19 To: Rao, Meghana S; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Moblin Dev] Moblin Beta Flash Plugin The first problem seems to be due to temporary bandwidth problems (assuming it isn't due to proxy settings (http_proxy="proxy:port") ). You should keep trying. Eventually the following should work: $ sudo yum install flash-plugin The second problem is because you can't download anything from the web browser. It is a known missing feature that is being addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I tried the fix on "Known Issues" page, but I get the following error: Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: moblin. Please verify its path and try again If I try to install Adobe Flash Player for Linux, I get a message to save the file, but the application hangs up. I am new to the linux/moblin environment and any suggestions on further steps will be very helpful.
