No protocol specified:
root@darphas-desktop:/home/darphas/Desktop# ./adobeair_linux_b1_091508.bin
(/tmp/air.LQ2KVf/setup:9034): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
root@darphas-desktop:/home/darphas/Desktop#
so if you can help me please tell me who to solve it. :s please
Listing terminal commands can be useful when things are complicated, but if you're already taking the time to do screenshots, why not give full graphical instructions?
EG, after download the steps would be:
Right-click on the file to get to properties, on the permissions tab, click to allow execution
Double click, select to run the app
When done, right-click the file, select "move to trash"
Its better to try out the released version of Adobe AIR on linux (available at http://adobe.com/go/air). It is more stable and has same functionality as Adobe AIR on win/mac 1.5. Now you can develop just a single AIR application and it will work on win/mac/linux without changes!

Some assert that Linux's CLI is required to install Adobe AIR. Wrong!
Using (GNOME's) Nautilus file manager GUI, right-click on the Adobe BIN file and check under the Properties' Permissions tab, to allow executing the file as a program. Next, right-click and Rename the file to remove its .bin extension, so the file name is just AdobeAIRInstaller. Finally, double-click the file to run the Adobe installer, which pops open a new window, requests your authorization (password), and prompts you through the install. That's it.
You'll then find AIR maintenance items in the Ubuntu "Accessories" menu (or in the "Tools" menu of Mandriva Linux 2009). The .air file extension is associated with Adobe's run-time. An AIR application can be removed via the distro RPM or DEB package manager GUI, or by double-clicking its original .air installation file.
