Uninstalling/Removing Adobe Air Applications.

[bhishan]

How do I uninstall/remove Adobe Air applications?

[Partyboi2]

Open a terminal and

dpkg --list | grep -i <program>then to remove

sudo dpkg -r <program>So for example if the program called bee is installed you would

dpkg --list | grep -i beewhich shows something like

ii com.adobe.air.samples.bee.419d633a757e8b26dd2bdb30 1927ba7ba7490f38.1 1.2 so to uninstall

sudo dpkg -r com.adobe.air.samples.bee.419d633a757e8b26dd2bdb30 1927ba7ba7490f38.1

when I try this (with dpkg --list | grep -i skimmer) nothing happens. What is going wrong?

[Partyboi2]

Skimmer is installed as fallon

dpkg --list | grep -i fallon

Thanks, the tip is working !

I would have picked that Adobe would have provided a control panel or something to remove these apps, but obviously we will never need to uninstall any AIR app.

Thanks very much for the tip.

I wrote Uninstaller for Adobe AIR (http://blogs.media-tips.com/bernard.opic/uninstaller-for-adobe-air/) to automate this.

awesome tool, thanks!

This is inexcusably retarded on Adobe's part. What is this nonsense? What if I don't know the name of the program? Absolute Rubbish. Very disappointed in Adobe.

Mr. Opic's package seems to only uninstall AIR itself, not specific AIR programs. Am I using it wrong?

It worked fine for me. When I opened it, it listed not only Adobe Air, but the two AA applications I had installed. I clicked on one of them, and it was deleted fine. I should note that I'm using Adobe Air 2.

I am using LXDE. The app refuses to work if it can't find GNOME or KDE as window manager. Any chance of a work around?

I have also tried dpkg --list | grep -i prezi, but it only lists the desktop shortcut, despite that htop lists PreziDesktop3 as residing in /opt Grepping PreziDesktop3 doesn't return anything.

The new Uninstaller for Adobe AIR (http://blogs.media-tips.com/bernard.opic/uninstaller-for-adobe-air/) version 1.1.0 improves installed AIR Applications detection.

I discovered that at least in my case, it was possible just to search for the application in Synaptic and uninstall it.

I installed Linux Mint 10, first with Gnome. The application launched but the Adobe AIR runtime was not detected.

I changed the Adobe AIR runtime detection as it is slightly different on Linux Mint.

I added LXDE, and configured it as me default window manager on startup.

I can use the application on Linux Mint.

Here are the download URLs for the 32-bit and 64-bit Debian package files for testing.

32-bit version (http://blogs.media-tips.com/bernard.opic/downloads/uninstaller-for-adobe-air_1.1.1_i386.deb)
64-bit version (http://blogs.media-tips.com/bernard.opic/downloads/uninstaller-for-adobe-air_1.1.1_amd64.deb)

Please let me know if that works also for some of you. If not, I will be interested by a dump of your environment variables.

Best regards,

I tried 64-bit of this and worked great! thank you.

Is there any official ppa or website for the app?

[bsulzen]

Maybe I am missing something here. I went into Ubuntu Software Center (running Natty Narwhal) and then searched for the Adobe Air App I wanted to remove, "geemail" in my situation. Clicked the remove button and the app was removed. Probably does the exact same thing as the command line method in this thread, but this is probably easier for most people

I tried using the uninstaller but get the following message: "Your desktop environment must be GNOME, KDE or LXDE"

I am using Gnome - any ideas?
