[SOLVED] Strange flash problem in Fedora12!

[PrinceSharma]

Hi folks,

In my F12 box,whenever I open youtube in firefox, it says either Java is disable OR install latest version of Adobe flash player.
I checked in firefox prefrences menu and and there I see already Java / java-script checkbox in checked for enable and along with it I have the latest flash player installed as per the manual install suggested by the missing plugin notifier.

Enlighten me what do to now?

In Firefox, under preferences there should be something about what app to use to open flash, make sure that is configured right.

Thanks scathefire, Right now I'm away from my place, will check for that.

Any other possibility please?

Problem is in Pidgin repository. Move pidgin file from /etc/yum.repos.d folder to some other place and try yum again.

Moving it to your /home/user_id folder.

su -
cd /etc/yum.repos.d 
mv pidgin /home/user_id
yum clean all
yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64 nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686

Something is wrong with pidgin repository. Either its corrupted or problem is at server side.
