OK, I found a solution for you – it’s a problem with installing AIR on 64 Bit rather than TweetDeck itself. It’s basically looking for the 32 Bit version of libgnome-keyring0. You’ll need getlibs, which can be downloaded and installed using the following:

wget http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb

Once it’s iinstalled, run the following, which will install the required 32 Bit libraries:

sudo getlibs -l libgnome-keyring.so.0.1.1

I just tried this on my 64 Bit install, and everything seems to work.

The full article and additional information about this fix can be found here: http://beegod.org/tweetdeck-on-hardy-heron-64bit

Hope that helps!

HI,

I just tried installing and running TweetDeck and have the same problem as Tim, above. It all seems to install OK, but none of the buttons along the top seem to work. Are you both running 64 Bit too?

I’ll have a look around and see if there’s any information anywhere.

Thanks for your comments

Just in case anyone makes the mistake I did and gets this error when trying to install air packages from the command line:

invalid file (bad magic number): Exec format error

you don’t need to make them executable, so chmod -x .air, and then just double-click on them (rather than running them from the command line). Then it all works.

Also to the poster above, I can install TweetDeck but not get it working properly – it runs but none of the buttons along the top of the window seem to do anything. Twhirl works fine though.

Hello! I’ve been using Ubunto 8.10 x64 with AdobeAir for some time, but there is an AIR app i always fail to run: TweetDeck.
I can run DestroyTwitter and twhirl but bot TweetDeck.
Can you give it a try?
