Installing Adobe Air and TweetDeck on Ubuntu 9.04 64 Bit
After installing Ubuntu 9.04 x64 when I installed Adobe AIR and TweetDeck it all got installed normally, but TweetDeck or any other AIR application didn’t work.
As of now Adobe AIR binaries are not available for 64 bit OS. However, Adobe AIR 32 bit will work if 32 bit libraries and packages are installed. To install Adobe AIR on a 64 bit OS follow these instructions.
Download Adobe AIR Installer
Download the Adobe AIR Installer from http://get.adobe.com/air/
Download 32 bit Files
Now you need to install all the 32 bit dependencies. To do so use the getlibs utility from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/ (thanks to Laurie Cope for the updated link)
After installing getlibs utility issue the following commands in the console.
zuhaib@NerdBox:/$ sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns zuhaib@NerdBox:/$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs zuhaib@NerdBox:/$ sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so zuhaib@NerdBox:/$ sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0 zuhaib@NerdBox:/$ sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1
Install Adobe AIR
Open console and goto the change directory to the location where you downloaded Adobe AIR installer and issue the following commands.
zuhaib@NerdBox:~/Desktop$ chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin zuhaib@NerdBox:~/Desktop$ sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin zuhaib@NerdBox:~/Desktop$ sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32
You are good to go now.

It seems the URL above is no longer available:

So I found getlibs-all.deb here:

This procedure to install Adobe Air worked better than the one described on Adobe’s website. Thanks

I have followed your instructions to a T and yet, I cannot install any AIR applications. They open for a split second and then air crashes and closes. So I am unable to install it at all, tips?

Thank you! This got me working on Karmic 9.10. All I needed as far as the additional libs in my case were:
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1
This fixed TweetDeck buttons not working
