Adobe Air nearly did for my computer. DON'T TOUCH IT. I installed it because I wanted to use Twhirl (a Twitter client). First it slowed the machine down, so that Textmaker suddenly took ages to launch (instead of about 3 seconds normally), the hard disk churned endlessly and Add/remove now claimed that there were no programs on my computer.
A kind person on Ubuntu-UK, Matthew Daubney, provided this:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-app-install
It worked. Whew!

Which version of Adobe AIR runtime were you trying?
ReplyDeleteI was using the one Adobe provides on the Adobe Air website at first. Then it asked for an update to be installed, which I allowed. So it was the latest version.
