Ok so since adobe decided to pull support for AIR on linux a while back, it made it a bit difficult for Linux users to use programs that require adobe air. We were forced to only depend on Ver 2.6, hence that was the last Linux compatible release.
Anyway, this is to help people install it on a 64bit version of Linux. Im not exactly sure, but i believe it is pretty much straight forward on 32bit. So i shall show you the steps to get this installed.(The link to adobe air 2.6 for linux is provided below)
1.) We need to download the Adobe Air 2.6 runtime installer for Linux. Which can be found here.
4.) We need to now install a few things, by typing in “sudo apt-get install libhal-storage1 libgnome-keyring0 lib32nss-mdns” <— lib32nss-mdns was the only file i didn’t have installed. It might be different for you.
5.) Make sure libgnome-keyring0:i386 is installed with “sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring0:i386”
6.) So now we need to link your 32bit libgnome-keyring.so.0 to your /usr/bin with this command. “sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0″
7.) Now we need to make the AdobeAIRInstaller.bin executable with “sudo chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin”
8.) Then we run the installer with “sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin”
This should start the installer and install it with no problems.
I hope this helps you out, and of course if you have questions, or you are still missing some libraries, let me know. I will be glad to provide more assistance.

OK so, 32bit wasn’t as straight forward as i thought. you need to “ln” two things, like so ” sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/ ” .. then ” sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/ ” …then you can “sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin”
Hope this helps.

My dofus installation says “This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance.” when i click play
Ok so i have seen a simular error with Dofus before.. Let me check out the install on my Desktop for yah.

So i seem to be getting the same problem, and im not sure why it is doing that. Cause i load Wakfu just fine. Unless Dofus is requiring a newer version of Adobe Air, this has baffled me. I have been searching google for any information, but no one seems have any posts about it. I will keep looking.
-Orkultus-
I think Wakfu went with JAVA because they didn’t want to depend too much on Adobe.
dofus is older so still depends on adobe.
hmm, someone here got dofus running by linking it to steam:
Well, interesting. I thank you for sharing that with me. I missed playing that game. I will try to sit down soon, and follow these steps myself.

This worked like a charm on Linux Mint 15, 64 bit. Thanks. 🙂
Very glad it worked out for you!
I should add that the 32bit libraries need to be installed. I had forgotten that step when trying to replicate this process on another pc.
+1! Thanks!
Hello, i had a problem trying this. Im using Linux Mint 15 MATE.
lucas@lucas-POSITIVO-MOBILE ~ $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0

/tmp/air.Y9U2tE/setup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What should i do?
Thanks ^_^
I would first check to see if you have libgtk2.0-0,libgtk2.0-common, and libgtk2.0-dev installed. I think this old adobe air package is slowing going obsolete for our later versions of Linux. Im sure that pretty soon we wont even be able to have any sort of adobe air installed in Linux.
-Orkultus-
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 is provided by libgtk2.0-0
-Orkultus-
I had to do:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
and then link the x11 file under the requested name:
cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.20 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
run this in terminal:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk libglib2.0-dev
it works for me. I have Linux Mint 15 MATE too.
Hello there! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to
find a template or plugin that might be able to
fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Appreciate it!
Have you checked this one out?? http://wordpress.org/plugins/wptouch/

PS. I keep on the lookout for more ideas.
dude, this is a spam comment… very sweet of you to reply, but….
Hello,
thank you very much for this run through. I just installed Adobe Air on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit successfully.
thank you again
Michael
Very glad i could help you out!
I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient
for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content material
as you probably did, the net might be much more useful than
ever before.
Well thank you :). One of the main reasons i started this blog, was because of the same reason. I got tired of searching and searching and piecing together parts of walk throughs, and steps. I think they should be simple, easy to understand, and detailed.
I am glad i could help you out!
-Orkultus-
er… this one too…
Thanks for your help, managed to resolve an with the final version of Adobe air with sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk libglib2.0-dev
Very glad i could help out 🙂
