Title: Demo not installing on Ubuntu
Post by: aperfectbalance on March 19, 2013, 04:38:34 AM
While this installs and works flawlessly on Fedora, attempting to install on Ubuntu 12.04 gives me an error #1 for my troubles. The following bit of the Install.log seems relevant http://pastebin.com/TifvFVGM . What am I doing wrong?

Hm. It's an exit code 7 error, but not one of the ones listed here (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html).

The error log mentions a pre-dependency problem, saying that the game depends upon AIR 2.6. Do you have that installed? If not, no worries: just grab it right from Adobe: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin)  If you already have AIR installed, see if any of these steps (http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-linux.html) help.

I may just be confused, but Adobe Air (http://get.adobe.com/air/)'s website says that it no longer supports Linux.

Right; they stopped supporting Linux in version 2.7. Telepath Tactics deliberately uses the last version with Linux support, 2.6.

I have 2.6, yeah. And nope, the steps didn't help.

Hm. This guy seems to have a workable method down--try following his steps and see if it works for you: http://jeffhendricks.net/?p=68 (http://jeffhendricks.net/?p=68)
