Troubleshooting AIR 1.5 on Linux

Posted by on Dec 19, 2008 in AIR | 1 comment

The AIR team has just published a pretty comprehensive blog post that can help you if you run in to a problem while installing AIR 1.5 on your Linux machine. In all honesty, I also ran in to a few glitches when I tried to install it on my Ubuntu machine… and the reason was very simple. I did not read the release notes (PDF). If I had done that, I would have known to remove any previous version of the AIR runtime and all AIR applications before installing AIR 1.5. Doh!

From now on, I will read the release notes before I install anything… Well… Probably not… But this certainly is a lesson learnt. ;-)

    This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf
