Quick tip for the day: Problems installing or updating Adobe Air under Linux?
If you are trying to install or upgrade Adobe Air under Linux and you get a (unhelpful) error message saying it couldn’t perform the operation, try it again after ensuring that Firefox is not running.



Your linux configuration
I wasn’t able to see this problem on 32-bit Ubuntu 904.
Your linux is 32-bit or 64-bit? and which distro is it (ubuntu/suse/fedora).
RE: Your linux configuration
32-bit, openSUSE 11.1.
I wasn’t able to see this
I wasn’t able to see this problem on 32-bit OpenSuse 11.1 (gnome as well as kde).
Are you able to see all the time, or was it one time issue? What are the steps you do, if you see the issue again.
RE: I wasn’t able to see this
I didn’t have to do anything special. Just have Firefox running when I try to upgrade Air. Happened a few times before I had the idea to close Firefox and try again, upon which it worked the first time.
