I have just shifted from Ubuntu based system to Fedora 12, but am unable to install vlc media player on this OS. I searched for the same here and followed the instructions as:

Flash player won't work in my newly installed Fed 12 64. libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib/flash-plugin /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins contains a symlink to the file.
I thought maybe this was a permissions thing. I changed owner to me. No good. I read some other threads about clashes 32 bit/64 bit. Is this the problem? It worked fine before I had to do a new install.

A recent (last couple of days) update to Fedora12 involving libunicap seems to have completely trashed VLC video player -- as in causing it to be completely uninstalled. No biggie, I thought; when I went to reinstall it, I saw that VLC 1.0.5-1 fc12 was available. Tried to install it, and KPackageKit calmly proceeded to throw up, telling me:
Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib/libunicap.so.2 from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686 file /usr/lib/unicap2/cpi/libdcam.so from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686 file /usr/lib/unicap2/cpi/libv4l.so from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686 file /usr/lib/unicap2/cpi/libv4l2cpi.so from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686 file /usr/lib/unicap2/cpi/libvid21394.so from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686 file /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/unicap.mo from install of unicap-0.9.5-3.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libunicap-0.9.8-1.fc12.i686
Wonderful. Now I don't have a video player that natively does mpg/avi; Dragon Player pretends to play them, but there's no video; same with Xine. BTW, I tried to report this via Bugzilla at Redhat, but couldn't find anything that resembled a way to report an actual bug/problem (what app doesn't work, how it doesn't work, any error messages).
FireFox told me to upgrade Adobe Flash Player when I tried to view YouTune's videos, but after I tried twice to download (open directly) it from Adobe, it still didn't work.
The first time I opened 'YUM for Linux', then I tried again the '.rpm for Linux' file, all installed automatically.
Tried installing flash player plugin, but Firefox says it can't install it. I installed manually, restarted firefox, but it still tells me I'm missing the plugin.
I just installed F11KDE, and I am trying to get it to run Flash content in Firefox. I have been searching for solutions for well over an hour and have found nothing that works. How can I get my installation of the Firefox browser to play Flash content. How do I install it? I have tried
# yum install flashplug-in or something to that effect, as well other attempts of different varieties, i.e.-rpm, yumex. Nothing is working.
i recently installed fedora on my eeepc1000hd and im having problems installing simple programs. for example i download limewire or flash player for ..... and when they download they open up in the archive manager instead of opening up witht the install client.
I want to view movies and livestream on the Internet and I tried many times installing the flash player for my fedora liveCD but still its not working. There always been an error. I been using all the options and installation instruction posted on the adobe site but still I can't find my way in.
I'm new to the world of linux, about 3 days old. I decided to go with Fedora for my first try. I have it installed and now trying to install flash player bot adobe, and gnash but with now success. How do I get this done, I already have it downloaded on my pc but don't know any commands to run this thing.
I cant install vlc player or other media players in my fedora 11 .Every time it shows the dependency errors. Any media player get from the fedora yum server.
In my F12 box,whenever I open ..... 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.
