![]() However, I think it needs updating for more recent Ubuntu releases, as noted in some of the other comments. Hi Jeff, your write-up seems to be one of the main sources of info on installing AIR. ![]() However the following packages replace it:Į: Package ‘ia32-libs’ has no installation candidate This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package. ~/system $ sudo getlibs -l libhal-storage.so.1 This thread indicates that its functionality was merged into udev in 2008 and that it was discontinued five years ago □Īpparently hal was causing compatibility issues with other desktop packages but there is a ppa for it to be used at our own risk – Īdding this repo gets past that step and installs libhal… et al but then: Where it says that libhal-storage1 was deleted from the 13.10 repos ~/system $ sudo apt-get install libhal-storage1 libgnome-keyring0 lib32nss-mdnsĮ: Unable to locate package libhal-storage1 I don’t know about gdebi but “sudo dpkg -i b” does the trick to install it. Thanks, I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and I stalled following the adobe installation instructions because b is missing. You could use that 13.10 Ubuntu Studio to verify my list of packages. Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0Īlso I recommend to install libasound2-plugins:i386 which contains plugins for the ALSA library that are not included in the main libasound2:i386 package (PulseAudio, OSSv4 and JACK). We have libgnome-keyring installed but not where AIR is looking for so we make the same symlink that you made in 12.04 LTS. Next enable universe repo from Software & Updates and refresh the software sources. I’ve been trying to determine this using Live CD of 14.04 (development branch) and after couple hours I successfully installed AIR 2.6. Jeff, I know which 32-bit libraries are required to install AIR on Ubuntu 13.10 and newer. Categories Outside the Box, Tech Tools Tags adobe air linux, adobe air on ubuntu 12.04, air for linux, linux Please, urge your third-party developers to move away from anything having to do with Adobe. I really wanted to help you, but Adobe had other plans. I’m sorry if you came here looking for help with getting Air to run on Linux. As is fitting with a blog called “Living Outside the Box,” Here’s a non-extensive list of alternatives to Adobe products: I’m through with them, and you should be too. They can rot as far as I’m concerned.Īdobe can bite me. Sucks to be you.” I’ll have a few more articles about how to break free from the many-headed Hydra that is Google in the near future. I went through their extensive review process last time, and they basically told me “Tough luck, buddy. Google is as complicit in this as Adobe- don’t think I’m letting them off the hook. At no point have I ever offered any of Adobe’s products for download here. Now they’ve filed a complaint against my AdSense account, and are taking money from my pockets- and I still haven’t done anything wrong. It’s become obvious to me that instead of making products that people actually want to use, they’re focusing their attention on punishing users who they think might have remotely stepped out of line. So I left the content up, exactly as it was, knowing that I hadn’t violated anything, in hopes that some people would still find it.įast forward a year, and I’ve been hit by another DMCA takedown, again from Adobe, for the same exact page. I felt good in knowing that I was helping people (or so I thought). But as useful as it might have been, I just can’t in good conscience help anybody with it any more.Īdobe falsely accuses me of stealing their property and has my page forcibly removed from Google searches? Yeah, okay, there’s enough links out there that I still got some traffic. I realize that this page has helped hundreds (if not more) people to get Adobe’s horrible (and non-supported) Air platform working in Linux, just to be able to use third-party apps. I can no longer recommend trying to get any Adobe products working on your computer for any reason. And as an added note: this isn’t the first time they’ve done this with this exact page. They simply did a text web search, and smote down everything that looked even remotely offensive. Five years ago, I posted an article here on how to install Adobe Air (the discontinued native Linux version) on Ubuntu 12.04.Įverything that I had written here I decided to pull, because Adobe likes to do massive bulk DMCA Takedowns without actually verifying whether the reported page actually violated anything.
