Finally IBM is making it easy. Notes 8.5.2 installed finally without hassle. I had a code-drop that also didn’t work properly. The final is a much better piece of software.
First install the dependencies:
sudo aptitude install libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-0
After that install the DEBs with –force-architecture switch. No need to force everything.
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ibm-lotus-notes-8.5.2.i586.deb
And if you want sametime also:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ibm-lotus-sametime-8.5.2.i586.deb
That’s it, start the client running
/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/../notes
You will see the splash screen, it will disappear and do sometime nothing, just wait and a terminal window will popup with the license agreement. If you agree you will see the updated GUI Lotus Notes!
Finally!!!!!
Thank you. This works great.
Hi Roland
I understand german but please try to keep it english.
Wich version of Ubuntu do you have and is it 32 bits and 64 bits?
Thanks
Hallo,
beim Aufruf kommt der Fehler
/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/../notes: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
die lib ist aber vorhanden
ls -l /usr/lib/libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2010-09-03 09:07 /usr/lib/libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0 -> libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0.1.0
was kann ich tun ?
Hi Roland,
I see, I did a upgrade and had these libraries already. I will edit the blog post with clean install. If you look at my other blog item: Install Lotus Notes 8.5 you should run the getlibs command. Rhis command download the 32bits libraries that Notes need.
Hallo,
i am not so god in english.
It is the ubuntu version 10.04 64-bits.
Hallo admin,
i do so, but
sudo dpkg -i libgnomeprint2.2-0_2.18.6-1build2_i386.deb
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von libgnomeprint2.2-0_2.18.6-1build2_i386.deb (–install):
Paket-Architektur (i386) passt nicht zum System (amd64)
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
libgnomeprint2.2-0_2.18.6-1build2_i386.deb
what can i do ?
This worked flawlessly. I was completely functional in 20 minutes.
Thank you very much for the walk through. It is much appreciated.
J.R.
I already have update to 10.10 and it still works
I almost lost hope that it ever will work as good as it works now
already anybody tested on 10.10?
I have tried to on 10.10 but for me doesn’t work. I have this error :
../notes: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks
Sorry i was forgotten this
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb

Correct you also needed that
installed the libs with getlibs.
Now I can start Notes. But when I want to configure Notes then I can enter hostname or IP of Domino but Notes always says “No reply from server”.
In terminal I get this error messages:
(:8154): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(:8154): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type ‘ibus’ failed
don’t know why, but now it works…
i have start install ubuntu new and now it works.
Please help me solve the problem. There are installed Lotus Notes on Ubuntu 10.04. The client works only with smart cards. Which driver I need to provide for interaction with the smart card? Where to find this driver. (In Windows it is located in the / system32).
Working nicely for me on 10.04-64.
Dumped the following text into a shell script, put the notes 8.5.2 deb in the same directory and then executed the script.
#!/bin/bash
