Installing IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 Beta on openSUSE 11.0
IBM has recently released a public beta of Lotus Notes 8.5 which will have many improvements and features above what the 8.0 family will give. I went to the beta site and was overjoyed to see they had RPM, DEB and their standard installer avaliable (about time IBM, about time). After I was overcome with joy, I decided to uninstall the current version of 8.0.1 and go ahead and install 8.5 via RPM package which was easily enough:
sudo rpm -ivh ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.i586.rpm
It installs, runs post installation scripts, and I go ahead launch and configure it. Not only does it have a smaller memory footprint so far, but for some odd reason it looks so much better (havn’t dug into why I think it looks better, but the fonts are much better). I notice that the sametime integration isn’t there, so I install the sametime package that came with the RPMS downloads with
sudo rpm -ivh ibm_lotus_sametime-8.5.i586.rpm
Setup sametime and was back up and running in no time FLAT. I haven’t done too much with it, other then send some emails and chat on sametime a little bit (sametime is still 8.0, even though the installer says 8.5).
Here is a list of all the RPM packages that are included:
ibm_lotus_activities-8.5.i586.rpm
ibm_lotus_sametime-8.5.i586.rpm
ibm_lotus_cae-8.5.i586.rpm
ibm_lotus_symphony-8.5.i586.rpm
ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.i586.rpm
I may install activites and symphony at some point, but right now I wouldn’t use them.
Keep posted I’ll write a wiki for installation at some point.
Note: although I have not tested with Lotus NOtes 8.5, you will probably need the following package for the application to work correctly:
libgnomeprintui

hi there,
i have the problem, that notes isn’t launching after installation. i’ve installed it exactly the way you explained, but nothing is happening, when i try to launch the app. any ideas?
Hi,
To me it sounds like you’re running Lotus Notes 8.5 on a KDE Installation.
For this to work please do the following:
sudo zypper in libgnomeprintui
(it may be libgnomeprint-ui, in older versions.. can’t remember).
Once you install that you should be able to launch it just fine.
Ben
“sudo zypper in libgnomeprintui”
Thanks for the tip!!! Searched why neither 8.0.1 / 8.5 qould not work and that did the trick.
The error message were a big ambigous and I was searching in the wrong direction (java runtime or sth), but with this package installed, it worked like a charm!
ibm should comment that in a README file or sth.
Thanks!
Hi Guillaume,
I am actually contacting IBM to not only include that in the readme, but to actually add libgnomeprintui as a requirement for the rpm built for distributions.
Not sure exactly what versoin it needs, but I think it’s:
libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0.1.0 (at least)
This doesn’t work for me. Lotus Notes freezes at some point at starting. What should I do?
David,
What is the output of:
rpm -qa | grep ibm
&
rpm -qa | grep libgnome
Can you try running notes from the command line? This may give better debugging output.
Thanks

… splash screen showed and that was it, nothing further.
David,
Very interesting issue. I would like to help you fix, and put the resolution here, please email me at ben.kevan at (NODAMNSPAM) gmail.com.
It seems as though there is a problem with your eclipse running.
Please email me the output of:
rpm -qa | grep java
uname -i
Thanks.. we’ll try to get this working ASAP.
Just to confirm that Lotus Notes 8.5 public beta 2 works just fine under openSUSE 11.1 and KDE 4.1. Fonts are a little bit ugly but probably fixable.
libgnomeprint* are still required, rpm installation should be fixed to fail if those libs are not available.
I’ve a similar problem like David above. I read the requirements needed in the PDF from IBM, installed the libgnomeprint and -ui. The rpm installation went OK, but I can’t get it running. I’d be very happy if you could give me a bit of advice. I’ve also have java 1.6 openjdk and -sun installed. Error message when trying to start:

Same trouble as david.cant get this to work.installed sun java, installed libgnome, chekced dependencies on lnotes.disabled effect in kde.tried it in gnome now.still no solution to this problem.
installed libmotif and 3 other related packages as said in the install guide. and tried installing the stable vesion and was able to get the graphical installation goin .installed and is working fine.
Has this been resolved? I’m running into the exact same issue as david and Joakim Brosten. It runs my fine on my opensuse11 i386, but I’m now trying 11.1 x86_64.
Andy,
What desktop environment are you running? How are you starting Lotus Notes?
Have you installed libgnomeprintui? How about openmotif22-libs?
Please do the following:
sudo zypper in openmotif22-libs libgnomeprintui && /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes
If that doesn’t work can you paste the output or email it to me @ ben (dot) kevan (at) gmail (dot) com
Thanks.
Installing openmotif22-libs and libgnomeprintui32bit totally fixed it! Thanks so much for your help!
Not a problem at all Andy. I’ve opened a case with bugzilla.novell.com to talk upstream with IBM to put in a requires openmotif22-libs and libgnomeprintui in the rpm .spec
Glad it helped.
I have installed ‘ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.i586.rpm’ on RHEL 5.1 .
How can I configure the Domino Server ?
Please respond early !
Thanks in Advance !
@Yogesh
Yogesh,
You installed the client and not the server.
You’ll have to download the server rpm’s and install.
(I think that’s what you’re asking for)
@Andy
I’d suggest you to install all the appropriate gnome*32 libs additionaly to the gnome-libs the system’ve installed in 64-versions…
Although I may be a bit offtopic I am writing here in hope for some help.
I am trying to install Notes 8.0.1 on FC10 with KDE. Notes kit is not a rpm, it is a binary version and unfortunately I do not have access to other linux Notes kits. FC10 was updated with yum update yesterday. After reading all above I have checked and installed as follows:
# rpm -qa |grep gnomep
libgnomeprint22-2.18.5-1.fc10.i386
libgnomeprintui22-2.18.3-1.fc10.i386
libgnomeprint22-devel-2.18.5-1.fc10.i386
libgnomeprintui22-devel-2.18.3-1.fc10.i386
# rpm -ihv openmotif-2.1.30.i386.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]

It all made no difference. I get the same error as I did before installing openmotif:

The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.
I have read on the libxcb page about a locking problem workaround but again it made no difference. I get exactly the same error. Anyone seen this before? Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
@grigo
What arch do you run?
Also, I would intall it with the text mode (when I installed 8.0.1 previously the gui installer was a pain with java.).
Installing in text mode was great.
Or try logging in AS root (I know I know) and doing it that way (previously that worked for someone also).
8.5 Final is out, you should check with your notes admin.
Ben
I run i386. I ran the installer as root in text mode as I needed to deactivate selinux before starting the install. I finally got this error:

I created the missing file myself and restarted the install, I get exactly the same error. Some great installer IBM has made…
Any idea where can I get the 8.5 installer from?
I am a Newbie and am trying to get my day to day applications onto the Linux side of my pc so I can use it full time.
I am having a slightly different problem trying to install Lotus notes.
Having looked through this forum and following the instructions above I am getting the message.:
Overall download size: 1.7 M. After the operation, additional 5.2 M will be used.

Hello, I’ve tried installing Notes 8.5 on OpenSUSE 11.1. After successfully installing the RPM, I start Notes. I only get a terminal window about the license, I select 1(accept) and then nothing happens. I’m running KDE 4 and libgnomeprintui is installed (ver 2.18.3-1.23). This is the 64 bit version of OpenSUSE 11.1.
Hope you can please help.
fixed!!
I realize Notes is apparently a 32 bit app, and I’m running 64 bit Linux. As per your blog, I tried installing the 32 bit version of libgnomeprintui, and that did the trick.
This is a great blog, BTW
Does anyone have Lotus Notes 8.5 BETA for linux ? Its no longer on IBM site and I’ve accidentally deleted my download.
I had been using LN 8 beta on linux for 2-3 years and now suddenly i have to boot to windows in office as we use lotus for mails. The 8.5 evaluation is time limited to only 60 days so I can’t use that.
If someone has the beta RPMs i would really really appreciate if you could upload and give the link to me.
Thanks in Advance.

I am running opensuse 11 and I am unable to find the libgnomeprintui 2.2 or the libgnomeprint 32 bit packages. Notes needs them to run. The highest I can find in the rpm searches are 2.18 which is already installed. Please help.
