was trying to run it myself for quite a while, on intrepid and jaunty 64bit for laptop.
When i start tweetdeck up it shows the app with the control buttoms up the top, but no content loads, no prompt to create my account, nothing. clicking any button except the logout/quit button does nothing. That logout button does actually shut the application down.
When i run /opt/bin/TweetDeck on console, it just gives out about canberra_gtk adn the wrong ELF class. As far as i’ve read this is a normal complaint with it on 64bit systems. But not a critical error? Or is this why i see nothing?
So i’m not sure how to proceed.

Still got the same problem

nicholas@waterwheel:~/Desktop$ Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer

Application crashed with an unhandled SIGSEGV
Crashlog has been dumped in /tmp/airCrashLogs/0618_1615_7Vr3bw

(crashlog is a large stacktrace)

Yeah. Gwibber is a good one. But I find that I really like the filtering and groups in Tweetdeck.

Don’t take this post as an endorsement of AIR. It has issues, like every framework.

had install AdobeAir based clients on laptop ……. AdobeAir is SUPER bloatware was eating up CPU without any reason. Have to admit native clients are not as good as AdobeAir based ones. Did u try any other native clients ?
