If you don't enter the password quickly enough TweetDeck may go ahead an open which will cause the same blank window to appear. As far as I can tell the libgnome-keyring libraries are not necessary in KDE4.ĭeb intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverseĭeb-src intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverseĬlick on Applications > Settings > KwalletManagerĮnter a password when prompted.
Anytime you want to run TweetDeck, first open KWalletManager from your Applications > Settings menu, then click on your TweetDeck icon or type /opt/TweetDeck/bin/TweetDeck. Make sure to enable the intrepid backports in your sources.list file.
To be able to run TweetDeck successfully in KDE4 you'll have to install the kwalletmanager which will also upgrade you to KDE4.2. Each time I would open TweetDeck it would simply display a blank window with a row of buttons across the very top. In my case I was running Kubuntu 8.10 64-bit with KDE 4.1. As it turns out if you're running KDE4 then TweetDeck seems to have a problem determining which desktop manager you're using. Just now figured out what the problem was. To install an air app from the command line type the following. Sudo ln -s "/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe AIR Application Installer" /usr/sbin/airinstall If you plan on installing any apps from the command line I'd recommend creating a new and much easier to remember shortcut. Sudo mv /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32įor whatever reason Adobe chose to use an extremely long and inconvenient filename for their app installer shortcut (/usr/bin/Adobe AIR Application Installer). Move the library with the following command.
usr/bin/"Adobe AIR Application Installer"Įrror loading the runtime (libadobecertstore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) If you don't move this library then the following error will be displayed anytime you try to install an air app. You're now ready to install Air so make the bin file executable.Ĭlick "I agree" and then enter your system password when prompted.Īfter the installation you'll need to move one of the adobe libraries to your lib32 folder. Sudo tar -overwrite -xf ~/Desktop/ -C /usr/lib32 Type the following to extract the libraries to your lib32 folder. If you decide to continue without installing these libraries then you may be presented with the following error during installation. The missing libraries may not present any immediate problems and you can probably get through the installation without them, however you will eventually discover errors with certain air apps if these libraries are missing. The file contains a few 32-bit libraries that are missing from the ia32-libs package but are necessary for either installing air, installing air apps, or running air apps. Once you have those files downloaded you need to install the ia32-libs package if it is not already installed. Make sure to download these files to your desktop as the steps below assume that the files can be found in your desktop folder.
() You will also need to download the ia32-air-libs archive attached to this post. The first step is to download the Air runtime from here.
As a time saver you may want to simply copy the text below from the code boxes and paste it directly into your terminal window. This guide will attempt to walk you through the process of installing the Air runtime in a 64-bit environment. The Air runtime actually runs quite well on 64-bit platforms but getting it installed requires a few extra steps. Unfortunately the current version is only available to install on 32-bit platforms. The Adobe website currently offers a Linux version of their Air runtime. If you are running a 32-bit operating system then you won't need quite a few of the steps listed here. Please note that this guide is only for 64-bit users. This guide has been updated for Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic).
