TweetDeck on Ubuntu 64 Bit

There are problems with Adobe AIR and TweetDeck on the 64 Bit edition of Ubuntu.

This is a pretty quick fix for that problem and it will get Adobe AIR and TweetDeck working perfectly on 64 Bit linux.

OK this will work if you have Adobe AIR and TweetDeck installed already or you are planning on installing them.

The first thing you need to do is install the getlibs_all package (a lot of people may already have this installed and if you do then you can skip this step). You can download it from here http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/ - Make sure to get the getlibs_all.deb file.

The rest of the steps are simple but they are done in the Terminal.
Open up the Terminal/Console and run this command:

sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns

Now you need to use the getlibs to install some libraries.. I made this easy for you guys by creating a script that will do all the typing for you.. All you have to do is type "y" or "n" for yes or no and press enter when it asks you too :D. It will be easy, trust me. ;)

download this script: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5ngykkmmz10

place it on your Desktop for this guide but you can put it anywhere you want if you know how to run it.
Now in the Terminal type (without the quotes) "~/Desktop" and then "chmod 777 adobeair" after that type "./adobeair" or just open the adobeair file on your desktop and click "Run In Terminal"

You will be prompted "[y/n]" on each installed Library and you want to type "y" and press enter.


now that you have completed the script you need to install Adobe AIR (if you havent already) http://get.adobe.com/air/ - To install just use the same commands as on the adobeair script that you ran previously.

Now once Adobe AIR is installed you want to run this final command

sudo ldconfig

Now you just need to install TweetDeck at http://tweetdeck.com

OK your done! Enjoy TweetDeck on your fast 64 Bit Ubuntu install!


NOTE: If Adobe AIR still doesnt work after that use this command

sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32
