How to resolve the issue "Adobe AIR could not be installed. Install either Gnome Keyring or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR." while installing Adobe AIR 2.6.0 Linux (15.4 MB)in ubuntu 12.04

| | 1 min read

I was once installing "Elance tracker" on my system. My system was running on Ubuntu 12.04. I came to know that to install Elance tracker in Ubuntu 12.04, Adobe air is a dependency. And when I tried to install this, the error "Adobe AIR could not be installed. Install either Gnome Keying or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR" showed up. Nothing more to say, I had to install "Gnome Keying" to get the Elance tracker working. Well, if you are here because of this error, the only solution I have for you is to let you know that the following steps can be used to install 'Gnome Keying'.

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and paste the below command in the terminal


sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /user/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/

It will install Gnome Keying on your computer.

As an additional info, you can use the below command to install Elance tracker:


sudo dpkg -i TrackerSetup.deb
