This looks very interesting. I will have to give Adobe air a try!

Thanks, it works on 10.04. Found it useful by using balsamiq mockups. They are on adobe air =)

[...] When I first installed Ubuntu and started getting the applications that I tend to use daily on, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t get Adobe AIR to install. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first — I just tried the installer on the TweetDeck home page. Recently I have managed to get it working however, largely thanks to a little bit more reading.

Hi.. I am having an issue… I am trying to install Adobe AIR but all I get is: “An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator”.

I have tried just about anything before issuing the command: “sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin” like closing firefox, making sure the /opt/Adobe Air directory does not exist.

Actually Adobe Air was working fine.. up until I decided to run “Computer Janitor” thats when Adobe Air started to get messed up…

Please shed some light over this issue…

I will really appreciate it.

Tip for Uninstalling an Adobe Air application (Ubuntu Jaunty)
Applications/Accessories/Adobe Air Uninstaller

when you run that application it will give you a list of Air applications that are installed and you then select which you wish to remove.

If that option is not in your menu then you have not installed Adobe Air directly perhaps and should visit Adobe site. Not sure is installing .bin files as described in this tutorial will always create the necessary desktop entry.

The command that the menu option runs on my machine is:
“/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR Updater” -arp:uninstall

… and I’m guessing the argument -arp:uninstall is the key thing to remember.

I really like Adobe Air but I've installed a number of applications and can't figure out how to remove the ones I no longer want. They're not listed in the Add/Remove section or Synaptic. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty. Josh Dressels last blog post..Department of Natural Resources rejects open source

I’m also using Linux Mint (version 6.0), and the notification sounds of Twhirl work fine.

Apparently on some ubuntu based distros (as mine Linux Mint) you can't launch .air apps directly by double clicking. Neither can you launch the Adobe Air Installer from the programs menu. You have to create a launcher on the desktop either manually or by dragging the shortcut from the menu onto the Desktop and launch it from there.

That’s a good one. Haven’t even listened for mine because I turn it off in twhirl and tweetdeck. Kind of annoying to me. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for stopping by.
