Hello,

I am running Air 2 on Ubuntu 64 and have installed you app Spaz. When I run Spaz, it doesn't error out, but a window never appears on the desktop. I have not had much luck with Air apps running on Linux, 32 or 64 bit, but have found a few like Readefine Desktop that seem to work well.

I am attaching a screenshot showing Readefine Desktop working, and the command line from which I ran:

linux32 ./Spaz

I also tried just running ./Spaz with the same result. No window appearing on desktop.

If you can resolve this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

   I can see an error message in your console there "Unknown desktop manager."

   I know that AIR apps require compositing window managers. Spaz uses
   this stuff, and it also is an HTML/JS app (unlike most AIR apps, which
   are Flash). This may explain why it won't work on your system.

   That sucks though. We will be switching platforms to Titanium Desktop
   in the future; that may work better for you.
