If automation does not work do a manual install, try command line in a terminal.
Its…
sudo su (makes you administrator)
apt-cache search libstdc++ then apt-get install libstdc++(version number here) (search and install c++ library if not already installed)
chmod 755 (add location of file here) eg. ./desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (changes file permission)
then run file eg. ./desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Easy as stealing a pie from the window sill.
Then just click on the air application installer find tweetdeck.air and install it.

If you have tried to install Tweetdeck on Ubuntu it can be hell if you don’t know it puts the link in the accessories folder and you also need to use Adobe Air to install Tweetdeck, though it wouldn’t do it without errors on 8.04 it worked perfectly on 8.10.

The fact that it works so smoothly though not effeciently as you would like, I found it holds up processor time when the Ubuntu loads up from suspend or hibernate but other than that I have found no problem at all.

This is how easy it was.

Step 1. Download Adobe Air + Tweetdeck.
Step 2. Unzip and open folder, click on install.
Step 3. Follow instructions.
Step 4. Setup Tweetdeck with your Twitter account details.

Easy.
