Ubuntu Installation :: Tweetdeck Not Working Anymore After Closing / Reboot - Fix It?
May 23, 2010
I was able to successfully install Tweetdeck and Adobe Air using the instructions here: http://www.technixupdate.com/install...-ubuntu-linux/
BUT after I closed the program, when I tried to re-open it, it wouldn't load anymore. It would show that it is "Starting Tweetdeck" but it would not lead to anything - it would just close.
So I tried to uninstall everything and re-install from scratch. But the same thing happened - the program would not load.
I tried to isolate the issue by trying to install another AIR application. When I double-click on the icon or click on install using Adobe AIR, it would not run. So that only means that the issue is with Adobe AIR.
Here's what I did code...
It will then load the installer. Go through the step-by-step process until it's finished.
Install Tweetdeck again (Just double-click on its .air file).
Installing TweetDeck is not that complicated, but if you have a 64-bit install of Lucid Lynx, you'll face a little hurdle in the form of Adobe Air.You see, Adobe Air only has a 32-bit version and you can't just install the .deb file found on the website and wait for everything to work fine.All the information to install Adobe Air and TweetDeck on a 64-bit machine is freely available on the net. I didn't find all the information in one place so that's the reason for this howto. It's my first howto, so I'm looking forward to your feedback so I can make it as perfect as possible.
Most of this information is taken from OMG! Ubuntu's guide on installing Adobe Air for Ubuntu 64-bit. In fact, there are just two steps that are different.Installing TweetDeckGo to TweetDeck's desktop download page here and click on the Install TweetDeck button. Now just follow the on screen prompts and you should be done.When the TweetDeck download asks you to save or open the file, you could choose to save the file especially if you have a slow internet connection. That way if something isn't working right, you can save yourself some time by just double-clicking the .air file to install TweetDeck next time.
After long while Vmware is not working anymore.. I think because some upgrade a while ago.. but when I try to run the configure.pl then I get this error.. does anybody know what is wrong?
I installed Burg and it worked for some time. I installed some apps that I can't remember anymore and closed my comp. I restarted my computer today and Burg does not work anymore, Grub just start like before. I tried to reinstalled Burg and it changed nothing. When I check Burg-emu it shows me the right thing, like if Burg was working. Did it happened to somebody else?
So I was happily using tweetdeck on Adobe Air in my Ubuntu 9.10 x64 installation when it suddenly stopped. It now reports a series of errors. First I get a pop up that says. "You are trying to connect to an unverified server s3.amazonaws.com (on port 443). Do you trust this server, and want to go ahead with the connection? - view certificate - This Session - Never"
Selecting any option makes no difference and takes me to the second error. "Ooops, TweetDeck can't find your data. TweetDeck is having trouble using some of your passwords that are stored securely on your machine. Clicking Submit will clear this data so that you continue to use TweetDeck. Please note that you will have to add your accounts to TweetDeeck again. - OK"
I then click OK many times. Eventually I get the third error; "Sorry, Adobe AIR is having a problem running on this computer. It looks like your computer is one of a very small number of computers that don't play well with Adobe AIR. We're actively working with Adobe on this, and it would really help us if you would let us know that you're having trouble by opening a ticket at http://support.tweetdeck.com/tickets/new - OK"
I then click OK many times and get a blank Tweetdeck. Nothing works. I can not setup an account or even load the settings pane. I can "close" it, but the icon in the top bar stays and I cannot remove it till I reboot. I've uninstalled tweetdeck. Then Adobe AIR. Then re-installed both and I get the same error.
I have a double boot system in my comp. I tried to make some upgrade in Ubuntu but everything went wrong and It's not working anymore. I can login but nothing is working. What are your suggestions in this case?
You really have to love this fantastic Ubuntu system which destroys your setup and programmes with an update.
It seems as though one of the updates made a mess of Skype this time. well done.
Ok so here is what's happening.
First i have to say that to get my sound card working i needed to upgrade ALSA. Everyhting was running fine until....NOW.
I haven't used Skype in a while but now i thought lets use it a bit. I start up Skype there is sound. but then suddenly sound is gone. video is just fine. sound is gone completelly from Skype. mic doesn't work and neither do spekers, eventhough upon launch everything works. i can't even do a test call. in fact i could do it once but the sound was messy.
also the skype seems to have crashed as i can't exit it at all. it's just keeps running as process.
anyone had something similar? any solutions? i would post this on Skype forums, but since Skype worked before and now it doesn't anymore i believe it is Ubuntu issue.
I'm a newbie in Linux (ubuntu) environment. Well my prob started as I tried to install several w-lan applications. I tried them out and deleted them again. Till (I don't remember the name of the prog) I finally shoot "network manager". I tried some things like: Second installation of ubuntu to get back internet. Downloaded some deb files and installed them in off-line mode.
But it doesn't work because some not satisfiable things happened now I tried to fix over USB live to fix it no chance. What I need is a possibility to install from USB on my first system or boot system one and USB on the same time to use the internet per switching or something like that. Maybe it's possible to update my system wile the USB system is running? Or is there a possibility to use the ubuntu CD and install all needet packages from there because network manager is already in Ubuntu. I think that all OS company's have to think about that , when they deliver a OS that you can choose or afterwords reinstall progs from the original source ...or what?
After a update that has gone bad I can't use yum anymore, I have already reinstalled the latest versions of yum and python from the RedHat site but no luck.
My error: Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 309, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 157, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 187, in getOptionsConfig self.conf File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 664, in <lambda> conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 253, in _getConfig self.plugins.run('init') File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 179, in run func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs)) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py", line 145, in init_hook Repo = RhnRepo(channel) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py", line 243, in __init__ self.metadata_cookie = 'cookie' AttributeError: can't set attribute
I have an HP dv4 1313dx, pavilion notebook computer. The Built in webcam seems to work OK, but I have absolutely no sound registering when I speak over webchat , or over just sound recordings when I talk at the computer. I'm not sure if it's a software issue or not. I upgraded to 10.4 beta because 9.10 wouldn't let me run my wireless card. So upgrading to the new beta version solved that, but as I said I noticed the built in mic on my notebook isn't picking up any sound. This is whether I'm using Skype, sound recorder, or AMSN for webchats.
In Lucid I cannot get CPU scaling to work anymore, in previous Ubuntu releases this was not a problem with the same hardware (AMD Phenom 9500 Quad). I used to load module 'powernow-k8' and 'powernowd' to make it work, but it seems 'powernow-k8' is not available in Lucid. Anyone who has cpu scaling working in Lucid?
On my Sony Vaio VPCF12M1E I have a small but irritating problem: Since yesterday the numeric pad on my keyboard doesn't work anymore. I can use the numbers at the top, but not on my numpad. This happened out of nowhere when I was just setting up an access point. No idea what I did wrong, cause I only configured a static IP Reboot, and numpad was gone. I tried restarting the laptop, I tried disabling and enabling Numlock over and over again. Nothing works.
I can no longer open TweetDeck either from the desktop shortcut or menu.I tried reinstalling it to see if that would fix it & after install the program ran fine but after shutting it down & trying to restart it from the shortcut icon/menu it says starting but does not complete & would not restart again.The only change to my computer was earlier I had installed Samba to access Vista network shares. Would this be causing a problem opening TweetDeck?Anyone any idea how I might get TweetDeck to work properly?I will keep trying to fix this (tricky when I do not know what the cause is!-I have googled but no reference found yet) but I am most grateful for help(meantime I am using Gwibber to tweet- but I much prefer TweetDeck & would really like it working properly in my dualboot Fedora14).
Earlier I was in windows to do school that I had to do in windows. I shut my monitor to suspend my computer, which disables my sound card. Later on I went back into ubuntu and forgot about it. Ubuntu had updates to the system and since then I have not been able to get my sound to work.
since I just upgraded my Natty to the new Kernel my Logitech USB mouse won't work anymore. I checked it on another notebook and the mouse works fine Before the upgrade, everything was fine as well.

A couple of weeks ago, my keypad stopped working. Not only the numbers, but all keys there. I heard it is a setting in Gnome, but I can't seem to find it.
After a lot of work I succeeded in making my Icon 225 Mobile Broadband working under Linux, so I immediately took advantage of this by updating my system.But unfortunately not everything went well. I have to say something:in Linux when you solved a problem another one pops up. And this is what happened to me. The first problem was the following error message: PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium [URL]
It seems that in the Online update system there is a error: or the address is wrong or something is not working as it should be. Anyway I got over it and the system started to download the updates and so on. At the end the system asked me to reboot and I did it. Unfortunately a cold shower was waiting me : the KDE interface did not work anymore, the only thing I could see was something like a fog all around the video. The mouse cursor was a dark square. I was still able to hear the welcome sound so I deduced that only the graphic interface was corrupted. I rebooted again and when the system show me the booting choices:
1) Desktop opensuse 11.3-2.6.34.7-0.3 2) Failsafe opensuse 11.3-2.6.34.7-0.3 3) windows 1 4) windows 2 5) Floppy
I chose this time the second one (I think it is like a safe mode)and fortunately it worked but the system looked like having lost brightness (I think this choice change the card driver). Now I do not know why the KDE inrface got corrupted, because I download everything from the opesuse website, so no strange repository has been installed. I checked in the little manual supplied with the DVD and I found the following suggestion: If the KDE interface got corrupted please try to remove the cache files of the KDE desktop using the following command rm -rf /tmp/kde-user /tmp/ksocket-user

I didn't use it for a long time. But the last time I checked it Under Ubuntu, cheese was able to read from it & gstreamer properties also tested it successfully.
But now that I need the webcam, I can't get it work
gstreamer properties says " Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format".
In ubuntu I noticed that some apps (vlc, tweetdeck, iplayer) dont allow transparency in the system menu. This isn't a massive issue, although I'd like to know if it is possible to enable transparency, and keep the uniform look.I've tried changing the icons within the application, however it often refuses to open afterwards
I have install fedora11 live and the mouse work well when installing.When you reboot the mouse works ok until the welcome screen apears then the mouse stops working and I cannot continue with the postinstall. I have a 1TB usb externalHD that I am installing fedora11 and have partitioned it so that I have 500Gb free for fedora, system is doucore 2.4,4gb RAm, I tryed doing this with three differend mice and connectting the mouse to different usb ports
This gets better and better. First I find out the branded version of Firefox can't do a right click "save page as" (although it can with CTRL-S), now I discover it can't download TweetDeck from that program's Web site. Click on the button to download TweetDeck, it says "Installing TweetDeck" but nothing happens.
I'm going to dropkick the branded Firefox to the curb and install the regular Mozilla version. It's more up to date anyway. I ran the Mozilla version for some time on 11.0 until I installed 11.3 the other day, so I'll live without "integration" that doesn't work worth a ****.
The libxml2 update specified by CVE-2010-4494 causes a notification that it will break Adobe AIR and TweetDeck on my machine.How can I blacklist this update so it won't keep showing up in the Updater applet?The applet says I should go into Yast and manually apply the update. When I do that and tell it not to apply the update, Yast exits and the Updater applet just tells me the update is still pending. I want to get rid of the update at least temporarily until Adobe fixes the dependency (assuming they ever do).
This is a major problem for me as I clearly don't intend to uninstall TweetDeck and AIR just for some security patch. Why didn't openSUSE test this patch for AIR compatibility?
the Squeeze uprgade I also lost the middle mouse functionaly of my Logitech Marble Mouse. I do not remember how I set it up to be honest. I am not sure if it was by default middle was mouse was "pressing 2 buttons on eachside at the same time" or I did set up manually using Xmod or similar tool. I might have even set up in the hal settings. The reason I do not remember exactly is that I used multiple tuts and places to set this up long time ago and now that the functionality is gone I am kind of confused about how to go ahead about it.
