I have been having difficulties with the Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox.
For a while it simply didn't work on my system (CentOS 5.2). Then last
week there was an update to the plugin, and *voila*, I could see Flash
content. (nevermind that it ate my system...)
Then a day later, another update was available, and after the upgrade,
the player stopped working again (in Firefox, at least).
I try to stick with apt as my package manager, though there was a time I
was using yum. In my /etc/apt/sources.list.d I have two files:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/os.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge.list
Their contents, respectively, are:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/os.list
# Name: Operating system and updates
### Red Hat Enterprise Linux
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/os/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/updates/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/extras/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/fasttrack/$(ARCH)
# all other entries commented out
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge.list
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag
# URL: http://rpmforge.net/
#rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/el$(VERSION)/en/$(ARCH) dag
repomd http://apt.sw.be redhat/el$(VERSION)/en/$(ARCH)/dag
Are these "sensible" entries? Are some of them redundant? Am I missing
some "common" entry? All of the above?
In my /var/log/apt.log, I have these clues:
Upgrading apt 0.5.15lorg3.2-3.el5.rf to 0.5.15lorg3.94a-3.el5.rf

The above was the version of flash-plugin that seemed to work. Then:

This version - my current one - is not working in Firefox.
Thanks for any light you can shed,
