Download Adobe Flash Player for Linux ?
I know what package & everything to download, but I can’t. Here’s what happens:
I click download. The box that says ‘Opening adobe-release-i1386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm’ pops up.
The options are ‘Open with’ & ‘Save file’. I’m supposed to open it, correct ? So, theres the drag down box next to ‘Open with’ for what to open it with. The selected one is ‘Archive Manager (default)’. This is the one I try to use, because it’s the default & when I looked under the other options I couldn’t find anything that seemed appropriate. So, I hit OK & two boxes pop up. One is just completely black & the other one is on top of it & it says ‘Could not open adobe-release-i1386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm. Archive type not supported.’ I have no idea what to do. I’ve looked through the other options for what to open in under, but I’m lost. PLEASE help. PLEASE. I can’t do anything if I don’t have Adobe Flash Player and it’s SO annoying. So, PLEASE help me. And, please be as detailed as possible. Thanks[:

What distribution are you using? If you use Ubuntu or Kubuntu, they use debian packages, not rpms so they won’t work. RPMs are used in RedHat/CentOS/Fedora and OpenSUSE.
Your best bet is to use the package manager that comes with your distribution (e.g. Yast for Suse, or apt or synaptic for Ubuntu and Debian) and use that to install the packages. You’ll save yourself a lot of aggravation.
if you can use linux mint instead its WAY easier
and this is already installed ready to go plus many other goodies you may need
