Can't start eclipse from adt package in ubuntu 12.04
So I downloaded the adt package for linux from developer.android.com, 32 bit, went to adt-bundle-linux-x86 / eclipse, tried to start eclipse but it gave me an error
Failed to display "/ media / ACF3-BA90 / adt-bundle-linux-x86 / eclipse / eclipse". No application installed for executable files. You want to find ... blabla ..
I'm pretty new to linux and ubuntu ... so can someone please help me fix this?: P
EDIT: The problem came from the fact that I extracted it to removable media and allowing the file to be executed as a program (Properties -> Permissions) still didn't fix the problem, so I had to move it to my (static) Linux partition.This fixed the problem.

I faced the same problem these days when I tried to write cocos2d-x games with adt-bundle-linux. Now I will finally fix this after doing it for hours. It turns out it has nothing to do with adt-bundle-linux. The truth is, Linux security settings lead to situations like this. It disables any executable file from other sources (in this case, it comes from the internet and linux treats it as dangerous and untrustworthy files). Just right click on the eclipse and select "properties", then go to the "Resolution" tab and check the box "Allow the file to run as a program". Hope this helps you. ^ _ ^

You seem to have installed to some kind of removable media, so your installation may have bad links for eclipse files.
I would recommend that you install Eclipse from Ubuntu Software Manager and install SDK from Eclipse Plugin Manager.
Here's a tutorial for the SDK:

Hooray!
