Install Adobe Air

08 July 2013

Install Adobe Air in ubuntu 64 bit

Testet in (K)ubuntu 13.04, 13.10
Note: This method doesn’t seem to work in Kubuntu 14.04, where it hangs indefinitely.

  1. Download the installer.
  2. Install 32 bit libs:
    • If on ubuntu 13.04: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
    • If on ubuntu 13.10: sudo apt-get install ibus-gtk:i386 libaio1:i386 libao4:i386 libaudiofile1:i386 \ libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 libcanberra-gtk0:i386 libcanberra0:i386 \ libcapi20-3:i386 libcupsfilters1:i386 libcupsimage2:i386 libcurl3:i386 \ libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libesd0:i386 libexif12:i386 libfluidsynth1:i386 \ libgail-common:i386 libgail18:i386 libgconf-2-4:i386 libgd3:i386 libgdbm3:i386 \ libgettextpo0:i386 libibus-1.0-5:i386 libieee1284-3:i386 libltdl7:i386 libmad0:i386 \ libmikmod2:i386 libmpg123-0:i386 libnspr4:i386 libnss3:i386 libodbc1:i386 \ libopenal1:i386 libpulse-mainloop-glib0:i386 libpulsedsp:i386 libqt4-designer:i386 \ libqt4-qt3support:i386 libqt4-scripttools:i386 libqt4-svg:i386 libqt4-test:i386 \ libreadline6:i386 libsane:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-mixer1.2:i386 \ libsdl-net1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 libssl0.9.8:i386 \ libstdc++5:i386 libtdb1:i386 libunistring0:i386 libusb-0.1-4:i386 libusb-1.0-0:i386 \ libvorbisfile3:i386 libvpx1:i386 libxaw7:i386 libxmu6:i386 libxp6:i386 libxpm4:i386 \ libxtst6:i386 odbcinst1debian2:i386 xaw3dg:i386 (ia32-libs is removed in 13.10. Many of these libs are unnecessary - to find out which you actually need try ldd /opt/Adobe\ Air/WiMP/bin/WiMP and search packages.ubuntu.com for the packages containing these. Note: On Kubuntu you might also need gtk2-engines-oxygen:i386 (see error message when running the AdobeAIRInstaller).
  3. Make installer executable: chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
  4. Execute installer: ./AdobeAirInstaller.bin
  5. If error about missing gnome keyring and kwallet:
    1. Find correct library-path: locate libgnome-keyring.so
    2. Execute installer with library-path: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    3. Alternatively symlink the needed libraries:

       sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0   
       sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
      

      You should probably delete the symlinks after installing.
