Newbie's quuestion: RPM package not signed

featips · #1 2nd July 2008, 11:05 PM

Hello,

I installed several packages (include Adobe Flash Player) in Fedora 9 using yum install command, and always failed since these packages are not signed.

Searching internet I found that I should some 'key', but did not find useful instruction on how to do this.

Anyone can tell me use what key shall I import, import to where? How to do this? Thanks a lot for your guide.

Regards,
Derek

If that package comes from some trusted source... you can install that RPM even if the signature isn't valid. Adobe is a trusted source

(well, not so sure but..), so go ahead...

I think you need the --nosignature switch:
rpm -Uvh --nosignature file.rpm
try....

I downloaded the Adobe flash player plugin from Adobe website, then install as following:

rpm -Uvh --nosignature flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:flash-plugin ########################################### [100%]

Then I go to Youtube website, still can not see video......

ANy further help?

Did you:
1) restart firefox?
2) if so, check to see if flash shows up in about

You might want to check out this guy's site:

he has lots of info about getting Fedora up and running with additional sofrware (java, flash, reader, mp3 players, etc). Very easy to follow.

Adobe's flash-plugin package IS signed. Maybe you're talking about not having the Adobe GPG key imported? You should first install the adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm package and then use "yum install flash-plugin" to install it. Enabling the Adobe repo also means you get updates automatically.
