Installing Lotus Notes 8 on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04
7 05 2008Since I gave in and switched from Sidux to the new Kubuntu 8.04 - simply because Sidux just was too bleeding edge for my work rig, too many kernel switches and the new 2.6.25 totally borking my Cisco VPN Client - I had to install Lotus Notes 8.01 … Again. And it was horror again. So just for future reference I should write down what made it work.
Stuff you need to install/do on a stock Kubuntu:
# sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 libgnomecanvas2-0 \ libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-0 \ libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome2-0 libgnomeui-0 # cp <notesinstalldatadirectory>/deploy/install.xml /root # sudo mkdir -p /etc/lotus/notes # sudo touch /etc/lotus/notes/notesrc
Launch Installer, install away. Should work. At least did the job for me.
Installing libstdc++5 did it under unbuntu with gnome desktop.
Before that, the installation always crashed with a locking assertion failure.
Thank you
Wow, Google was quick to pick that post up. Glad it worked for you!
Thanks for the help man. Install libstdc++5 solved the problem in ubuntu hardy.
Still not working for me
Thank you for your post!!!
I installed Notes 8.5 Beta 1 on an Kubuntu 8.04 and had a rendering problem when opening html-Emails. Once apt-get installed gcc-3.3-base libstdc++5, (due to your posted command) everything worked out smoothly.
THX!
GArcher: any detailed Info on what’s not working? I got quite some “experience” with that piece-o-crap software, maybe we can find a solution.
Regenkind: Totally glad to hear.
