AIR for Linux

I know this product was killed off a while ago now, but I was just wondering what the chances were of it being resurrected?
Ubuntu has recently announced Ubuntu for phones and now Ubuntu for tablets as well, and it would be awesome if I could, with relative ease, package my AIR mobile app up as a native package for it.

  • AIR for Linux - how to disable popups during install?

    During the AIR for Linux .bin install, how can we disable the two popups (that the user must select "Agree" and "Finish" on)?
    Our company wants to migrate to AIR for online help but the popups need to be disabled. We'd be incorporating the AIR install into our sw builds and the sw manager will not approve until the popups are disabled.
    Neglected AIR for Linux only offers .bin installs that have these two popups.(HINT HINT... Adobe please provide different AIR for Linux installations other than .bin installs.)

  • Shipping AIR for linux

    You are shipping the bin which contains rpm and deb packages... But the distros which hasn't rpm/dpkg aren't allowed to install it in normal way. It needs sdk package...
    Might You (Adobe developers) give us (dear users, using this technology) normal package like adobeair-sdk...it is all what we ask for. It isn't hard for You, but it can help many people. We can made from it (package like sdk) good packages for rest of distributions... which are popular too (Archlinux for example). Please don't leave it post without answer.

    I second this request.

  • Air 3 for Linux

    i m trying to get my hand on Air3 runtime for Linux, as it fixes a lot of graphic refresh issues, i know Adobe do not support it but i thought third parties did.
    This link says it does but it's actually 2.6
    http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Adobe-AIR-Runtime-for-Linux/1258475419/3
    We use Adobe Robohelp do generate Airhelp and our 500 + employees are all using Linux.
    I have no problem with Adobe stopping further Air for Linux dev... But they could at least let us package the runtime rpm ourselves...
    The press release mentionned that only 1 percent of their Air runtime download was for Linux ! They forgot to mention that this 1 percent was their largest clients.
    We use to download 1 rpm, and later on installed it on 500 machines...
    Will the Air source code only accessible to mobile partners ?
    Thanks much
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    I don't have any new AIR Linux information to give out, but I'd suggest reposting this over on the AIR blog.  I'll also ping our PM team to see if they have anything new that might help.

  • Adobe air for android development in linux?

    So, I'm shifting to a linux and I heard that adobe air does not support sdk 2.7 and higher! is that true for mobile app creations also or just .air packages? will I be able to compile android projects required adobe air 3.1 or 3.2 because I am building with Starling and I need newer adobe air runtimes... Please let me know. and will you please be able to tell me what software, IDE, I need to install on my linux to be able to package my .apk files on a linux?
    Thanks,
    Hadi

    I need linux to package the apk for me because I will be changeing some files like some xml files in the bin folder and then I need the new files repackaged again... the linux will be used as a server side packaging for us... get the idea?
    I've been using 3.0 in the xml namespace and it created "app.air" for me on the linux! I know I must put the -target apk to the "adt" call but when I set the -target method, it throws many errors!

  • Native Extension for Linux

    Hi,
    I'd like to explore the posibility to create a navite extension for AIR/Linux. I haven't found documentation on how to do it. Is this already supported in version 3?
    I want to create a serial port communication extension for AIR.
    Can some one please confirm is this is possible at this point? and if so point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,

    AIR isn't supported on desktop Linux anymore. AIR 2.6 is the last supported version, so native extensions are not possible on Linux. You can find this announcement buried in this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/06/adobe-air-and-linux-increasing-distribution-on- devices.html

  • Can I exchange my macbook air for the new pro?

    I recently bought a haswell series 13" macbook air exactly 1 week before the introduction of the new haswell macbook pros.  After considering the spec and price difference I realized I'd rather have the pro. I looked on the returns tab on the website.  It said I can return my product within 14 days. Is it possible for me to exchange my air for the pro without having to go through returning my macbook air and buying the pro?  I realized the price difference wasn't all that differernt and I wouldn't mind the extra power. I currently have the 13" macbook air i5 with 8gb. I plan on getting the 8gb for the 13" retina display macbook pro as well

    I strongly doubt it. The best thing for you to do is to return this one before the 14 days expire. If the time passes you will have to keep the Air and try to sell it privately.
    Once Apple accepts the Air back and you know you are getting a refund you can start the order process for the Pro.

  • I just got a macbook air for xmas- now i wont get texts on my iPhone. they go right to my laptop. how can i get the texts to go to BOTH devices?

    My hubby just got me a macbook air for Xmas which is awesome.  Set it up to be able to ichat on it as well as on my iphone.  Only now i wont get texts on my iphone- ONLY on my laptop.  How can i configure so that I can get texts on my computer AND my phone. NOT just one or the other? Please help!

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?

    How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

    I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
    Is there a feature for Mountain Lion?

  • Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

    I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
    The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
    forefront. We have
    been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
    announced for
    that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
    downloaded Oracle8
    for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
    the first
    20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
    paying
    customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
    accounts and most
    of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
    This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
    Linux. Already,
    20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
    internet
    technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
    Linux, this
    release promises to be the hottest yet.
    Read on for more information about:
    - What are we announcing?
    - What are the key messages?
    - What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    - Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    - Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    - Which products are available on Linux?
    - Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
    doing?
    - Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
    What are we announcing?
    Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
    strong demand
    for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
    shipping
    Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
    What are the key messages?
    Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
    fast, reliable
    and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
    the higher
    value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
    databases and applications).
    With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
    progressing from
    its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
    deployment
    environment in large business.
    Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
    using Oracle8
    and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
    Network (OTN) for
    Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
    operating system.
    What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
    list (see
    http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
    operating
    system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
    developer licenses
    through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
    to use Oracle
    software for non-commercial use.
    Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
    small ISP's
    and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
    sites. For
    Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
    three times
    that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
    low-cost, yet
    highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
    the NT market,
    Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
    Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
    strongly
    contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
    students and
    developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
    Fortune 100
    companies and although deployments are still currently small
    compared to NT
    and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
    Which products are available on Linux?
    Currently available on Linux are:
    - Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
    - Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
    - Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
    Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
    equity
    investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
    Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
    primarily on
    enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
    Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
    (http://www.turbolinux.com)
    VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
    (http://www.linux.com)
    Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
    Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
    There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
    Oracle strategy
    and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
    (Strategic
    Business Unit).

    Press Release
    ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
    ANNOUNCEMENT
    OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
    Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
    number one
    choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
    for Oracle
    on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
    business markets.
    Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
    Linux, after a
    successful early adopter's program.
    Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
    over 50,000
    downloads from Oracle Technology Network
    (http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
    after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
    registrants
    for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
    community,
    Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
    excess of 800
    paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
    enterprise accounts
    and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
    organizations.
    "Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
    had to rely on
    NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
    Linux," says
    Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
    company providing
    customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
    web hosting
    and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
    security,
    performance, manageability or reliability required by our
    customers. Oracle
    brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
    a result,
    we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
    Fortune 100
    enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
    the addition
    of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
    "Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
    scalability and
    performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
    system," says
    Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
    e-commerce
    service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
    members'
    needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
    extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
    "Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
    community,"
    says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
    at Oracle.
    "Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
    Together they
    offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
    applications."
    Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
    the
    Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
    leadership in
    the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
    warehousing to
    the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
    Oracle's
    Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
    and Oracle's
    Internet development tools.
    Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
    for information
    management, and the world's second largest software company.
    With annual
    revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its

    Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
    is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
    We can hope...
