Adobe AIR 1.5 for Linux (finally)
Adobe announced on December 17th that AIR 1.5 is now available for Linux! This is a pretty big deal for Linux users because the previous version we were using was a buggy version that didn’t have all of the newest features (and was unreliable at that). With this new release comes the new version for both x86 and x64 processors! Read on for the whole explanation!
Fixing the mime-key error in Filezilla, complements of Adobe AIR
I really like Adobe AIR as a platform, mainly because I generally like the idea of having a platform that can run the same apps on any of the big three Operating Systems (Windows, Mac, Linux). Unfortunately, after installing the Adobe Air alpha for Linux I was having a problem with an error every time I started up Filezilla. This would popup on every startup:
"Can't open /usr/share/mime-info/air.keys" (error 2: no such file or directory)" "Can't open /usr/share/mime-info/air.mime" (error 2: no such file or directory)"
Obviously, this wasn’t the worst thing that could possibly happen to me… but it was rather aggravating! To solve this problem I went scrounging through the depths of the interblags and finally managed to fix it. Lots of help comes from the Dusty Pixels blog, but I figured I would compile what worked for me here.
