Installing Balsamiq Mockups on Ubuntu

Posted at

Tried to install Adobe Air 2.6 as per the Adobe help:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html

But got an error:

~/tmp$ sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin 
/tmp/air.dzfuRI/setup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I apparently need to install the 32 bit versions of libgtk2.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/356605/ubuntu-13-10-64-bit-machinarium-error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libgtk-x1

So I install 32 bit version of libgtk2. Ubuntu uses multi-arch to manage 32bit and 64bit versions of libraries. I can install the 32 bit version by appending ":i386" to the package name.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

After that I tried to install and got an error message in the console:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

This message dialog also showed up:

air_error.png

I guess I need to install the 32 bit version of libcanberra-gtk-module?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gtk-message-failed-to-load-module-canberra-gtk-module-936168/

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

After doing that I still got the same dialog but the canberra module error message went away.
I also got this message above but ignored it. Maybe it has something to do with the problem?

(setup:12779): Gtk-WARNING **: module_path にはテーマ・エンジンがありません: "murrine",

The install instructions mention installing libnss so it seems more likely I need to install the 32bit version of that.
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/install-air-2-64-bit.html

Installing libnss did the trick:

sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d:i386

But I got a message now about installing gnome-keyring. So following the instructions here:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-adobe-air-linux-mint-32-64-bit/

I created some symlinks:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0

Next install balsamiq:
Installed by double clicking the deb and installing. That seemed to work.

Balsamiq seems to run but doesn't display Japanese characters.

When to help => about => open local store folder and added a BalsamicMockups.cfg file.

<config>
<fontFace>Takaoゴシック</fontFace>
<assetsPath>/home/ian/Dropbox/Documents/Work/path/to/assets</assetsPath>
</config>

Now Japanese font is displayed and I can use the assets I use for work.
