Lotus Notes 8.5 Installation

This is a place-holder section. In the mean time, the best installation/configuration/removal instructions is through IBM’s Notes Client Installation and Upgrade document. It provides instructions for all the OS’s IBM supports for Notes. Evaluation downloads including all supported platforms are available here: Evaluate: Lotus Notes and Domino Administrator clients. Note that the Administration Client and Domino Designer client are only available for Windows. The client, Lotus Notes, and the server, Lotus Domino, are available. Note that while the client is supported for Ubuntu, the server installation requires a little googling/tweaking to succeed. So Linux users can use the Domino server and Notes clients for mail and applications, but server administration and application design needs to be done using Windows. Note that a lot of server administration can be done using a web administration interface included with the Domino server. Please see the Administration help included for more information.

The basic steps are as follows:

• Get the 8.5.x release package. It comes in either RPM or DEB formats. Once you have the tarball, (usually something like lotus_notes851_linux.tar), extract it into a new folder:
• You’ll now have a set of RPM or DEB files. If you’ve got DEB files, you’re set. Continue to the next step. If all you have are RPM files, you’ll have to convert them to DEB using alien:

If you’re doing a fresh install, just run the installation:

If you’re upgrading from 8.0.1, you can probably still perform the fresh install steps above, but there’s a caveat! It seems that if you had Sametime installed in 8.0.1 and you run the install you’ll have an endless number of «ActivityMonitor» or «ScheduleAutoLogin» messages. This has something to do with how Instant Messaging is configured in Sametime. There’s an acknowledged issue, and comments about this. The better solution is to just go for a fresh install, by renaming your 8.0.1 install folder and doing a fresh install: This is, of course, assuming that you’re initial install was to the /opt/ibm folder.

That’s it — you’ll now have 8.5.1 installed.

Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on Jaunty Jackalope

This section defines the installation steps for Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on Jaunty Jackalope (9.04).

Pre-Requisites

Notes 8 for Linux requires the following:

• libstdc++ version 5
• Eclipse. It’s probably not absolutely necessary, but the notes client is built on Eclipse and your life will probably be a bit easier if you have it.

Graphical Installation Steps

• Create a new folder that you can work from
• Download Lotus Notes for Linux into this folder. This is usually available from your Notes administrator, or as part of the Notes/Domino package. The file’s called C19U2EN.tar.
• Untar the file:
• Run the installer as sudo’er:

This should launch the graphical InstallShield wizard. You’ll be asked to accept the license and specify an installation folder (/opt/ibm/lotus/notes). You can accept these defaults if you wish, or change them to your preference.

The java-based installer has some screen issues on my machine. You have to click the mouse for about a second on the Next/Back navigation buttons in order for the action to be correctly detected. Screen refresh also seems very poor, so you may have to move the window about a bit for some of the screen to become visible. But YMMV.

You’ll finally got to the summary selections and install window, at which point you click Install.

After installation is completed Notes should appear in Application -> Office -> Lotus Notes 8. But when you try to launch it as a regular user, you’ll end up with a «Permission Denied» error!

Change ownership of the lotus folder in your home folder:

Change ownership of the notes install folder. Note that this may cause problems if you’re trying to use notes for multiple users on the same host. Let’s assume you’re not going to do that!

Change ownership of the configuration folders — /etc/lotus:

• This is necessary to allow your id file and individual configurations to be saved properly, and the initial error if you don’t do this will be related to the pernames.ntf file (/etc/lotus/notes/data/shared/pernames.ntf).

You should now be able to launch Notes (Application -> Office -> Lotus Notes 8), but you’ll end up with another error:

• Continue for now. We’ll fix this in a later step

You’ll be asked for your id file to launch notes. This should have been provided by your network administrator, and is probably on a shared drive somewhere. Navigate to this location and select the file.

Notes should now launch.

Console Installation Steps

InstallShield wizard will install Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on your computer. Select 1 to continue.

Accept license

Accept default install directory (/opt/IBM/Lotus/Notes)

Uninstalling

Removed Notes takes the following steps:

• Go to the install folder. By default this is /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/_uninst/
• Run uninstaller.bin. Uninstallation may take quite a while, so be patient!

Troubleshooting and SNAFU’s

=== During Installation ===

• «The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.»
  • Caused by absence of libstdc++5. See the pre-requisites section above. You MUST have libstdc++5 for the installer to run.

Post-installation (when running Notes)

Trying to run Notes as a regular user results in «Could not launch ‘Lotus Notes 8’. Failed to execute child process . «. This is thanks to the fact that we Notes was installed as sudo (which is the only way you *can* install). Here are some things to try out to fix this problem.

Your home directory should have a lotus folder (

/lotus) which is owned by root. Change this and the notes install folder to be owned by you:

Lotus Notes 6.5.2 on Breezy Badger using Wine

This section documents the procedure to install Lotus Notes Client (version 6.5.2) on Breezy Badger (this may work on earlier releases but has not been tested).

If you find any errors/changes to this document please feel free to write to

Requirements

You will need to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

Installation

Installing wine

To install wine you’ll need to perform the following:

Installing Lotus Notes Client in ubuntu

• Install Lotus Notes Client 6.5.2 under Windows. Unfortunately wine still does not have support for windows installers. Make sure that you install this on a partition that is writable under ubuntu (a vfat partition is preferable)
• Execute wine once, without any command line arguments as

This would setup wine and place the correct configuration files.

• Create symlinks to windows partitions for use with wine.

• Almost done! Now use the following command to run Lotus Notes Client 6.5.2. Note the use of double slashes.

I’ve created a shell script

/bin/lotus-client that executes this long command for me.

Use an editor like gedit to create a file lotus-notes as:

Установка [ править ]

Установка производилась на Альт Линукс СПТ 6.0 i586 с установленной графической средой GNOME.

Перед установкой убедитесь, что доступен из Интернета или зеркала репозиторий cert6 (i586 и noarch).

Скачайте архив с кодом и распакуйте командой:

Установите базовые и зависимые приложения:

При этом будут также установлены пакеты из онлайнового репозитория: libXp libgnomecups libgnomeprint libgnomeprintui tcsh

Примечание: При обновлении и установке пакетов может быть показана надпись:

Нажмите клавишу y и Enter или просто Enter.

Во время установки (когда будет установлен последний пакет ibm_lotus_notes и показано 100%, откройте в другом окне файл /tmp/rcp_install и ждите, когда там будет последняя строка вида:

Переключитесь на консоль установки и нажмите Ctrl+c.

Запуск [ править ]

Запустить клиент Lotus Notes можно из меню Офис → Lotus Notes 8.5.

Примечания [ править ]

1. Для того, чтобы Lotus Notes запустился, нужно скопировать /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/data/notes.ini в одном из каталогов, которые указывает вывод

(например, в $HOME/bin) и дать права писать в этот файл пользователю, от которого будет запускаться программа.

2. Возникают проблемы со шрифтами (очень маленький шрифт). Должно решаться установкой шрифта Tahoma из Windows и указанием его, в качестве шрифта по умолчанию в настройках DE, либо установкой пакета fonts-ttf-ms (но это не срабатывает).

Установка и запуск IBM Lotus Notes/Designer/Administrator версии => 6.5.6 в ОС GNU/Linux Debian-based дистрибутивах.

1. Введение

Начиная с версии 8.5 IBM Lotus Notes так же доступен для GNU/Linux дистрибутивов. Но давайте определимся почему же все таки лучше использовать Windows версию. И так минусы «родной» версии для GNU/Linux дистрибутивов:

• версия для GNU/Linux НЕ включает в себя инструменты Дизайнер и Администратор
• версия для GNU/Linux имеет более высокие системы требования
• некоторые сайты нуждаются в старых версиях Lotus Notes
• НЕТ возможности скачать бесплатную пробную версию для GNU/Linux

Для запуска всех Windows версий IBM Lotus Notes (да как в прочем и любых приложений Windows) необходимо установить WINE.

Так же существует официальная страница на WINE Wiki описывающая использование IBM Lotus Notes в WINE в среде ОС GNU/Linux. Я рекомендую ее к посещению в том случае, если Вы хоть немного владеете английским, т. к. там можно найти много полезной информации.

По заявлениям разработчиков WINE гарантированной версий для работы IBM Lotus Notes в ОС GNU/Linux является версия 0.9.33. Таким образом, если Вы испытаете какие-либо проблемы при установки и работе в WINE 1.2 и выше, то рекомендуется использовать именно эту версию.

Дальнейшие действия выполнялись на система Ubuntu 10.04 c Wine 1.2 и IBM Lotus Notes 6.5.6 (последняя версия из 6 линейки).

2. Установка

Перейдем непосредственно к процессу инсталляции WINE. Открываем терминал и ставим пакет Wine (для использования последних версий пакета необходимо подключить официальный репозиторий wine. См. — http://www.winehq.org/download/) следующей командой:

sudo apt-get install wine

Далее нам потребуется установить скрипт winetricks с помощью которого мы установим необходимые библиотеки и приложения для полноценной работы IBM Lotus Notes 6.5.6. Ставим данный скрипт следующей командой:

Теперь осталось получить необходимые библиотеки и приложения:

sh winetricks ie6 vcrun6 msxml3 msls31 shockwave wsh56js wsh56 wsh56vb

Пришло время установить IBM Lotus Notes. Переходим в директорию где находиться установочные файлы (при условии что эта папка находится в Вашем домашнем каталоге):

wine Lotus Notes 6.5.6.msi

2. Настройка и запуск

После того как инсталлятор завершит свою работу приложения Lotus будут доступны через главное меню, а так же на рабочем столе через ярлыки.

Хочу отметит, что для правильной работы клиента Lotus с несколькими серверами необходимо прописать имена и соответствующие ip-адреса в файле hosts. Выполняем:

sudo gedit /etc/hosts

После редактирования у Вас должно получиться что-то вроде этого:
