Adobe Air and Ubuntu

Now my linux box is slowly becoming more functional I’m starting to add my usual features. First step is twhirl, my favorite twitter desktop program that runs on Adobe Air.

Download the AdobeAIRInstaller.bin file from http://get.adobe.com/air/ make sure you change the operating system to linux. Save this file where you know where it is

Open a terminal and go to the file containing the .bin file and type
chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

This will run the AdobeAIR installer. All .air files are then recognised and installed normally.

Nice and easy! =)

EDIT: It seems installing this program leads to this problem after restart. Please quickly check to make yourself familiar if you are following this.
