The script's a broken link at present, Mat.

Also, have you (or anybody else reading!) got anywhere with installing on 64-bit Ubuntu?

I don't know about any other version of Ubuntu but on version 12.04LTS, the getlibs program is not installed. Since getlibs is used right at the start of your install script, it needs to be found, downloaded, and installed prior to running your script.

I've followed the above directions and unfortunately I've hit a brick wall here.

Ultimately where I end up is after accepting the license agreement I get this error message "./notes: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" and no matter what I have done including trashing an entire Kubuntu install I cannot get around it.

Any ideas? Google is failing me on this particular error.

Kubuntu 12.10 x64

Should your script working for Ubuntu 12.10 64bit also? I did all above and my notes did not start. Only the Agreement screen and then nothing.

I've tried this with Lubuntu 12.10 64bit. The install didn't complain, and first launch gives me the command line agreement screen which I gave "1" as the answer, then nothing.

I am unable to relaunch, the task manager doesn't show the process running.

I found the actual file after a few minutes and launched it from the command line. It showed some broken dependencies, so I launched synaptic package manager and used the fix broken dependencies tool. launching again from the CLI gave me more errors (referenced the notes.ini in the home folder) which launched the Notes diagnostic.

After launching again, I get an error which follows:

[12374:00002-3001288896] Error writing to process file pid.nbf, (other applications may be inappropriately accessing this file)SUT: OSSmartUpgradeInit: OSFileCreateDirectory: error: Cannot write or create file (file or disk is read-only)

OK, found one part of the error.

found notes.ini and changed owner to the user, and set permissions to 777 then it launched into the setup. So the install scripts need a bit of work with 64bit, but I'm impressed with what's here and I will be taking some of it to make an install script for our company.

Thanks for the help.

Hey, Mat, thanks for keeping at this. I'm looking forward to getting Notes 9 gold running on Ubuntu 12.10. I'm using VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 on Mountain Lion. I can't remember if you were using a Mac in Orlando.

Cheers!

Hi!

I was able to install notes9 on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit with your script and I can launch and use it but I get this error with apt-get:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

ibm-notes:i386 : Depends: gdb:i386 but it is not installed

Depends: grep:i386 but it is not installed

Depends: sed:i386 but it is not installed

Recommends: ttf-xfree86-nonfree:i386 but it is not installable

ibm-sametime:i386 : PreDepends: alsa-utils:i386 but it is not installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

If I try -f install it will remove most of my packages. Any ideas?

Maybe upgrading to this version will solve all problems that I have read about the 8.5.x client.

Synaptic package manager thinks the IBM Notes 9 install is an incomplete package so everytime you want to upgrade any of your packages, install software, etc., you will have to uninstall and reinstall IBM Notes 9. I haven't found a workaround for this yet. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Getting started quickly with IBM Notes 9 on Ubuntu 12.10 using this install script

Thank you very much for this script! Unfortunately it does not work well on my system. (see below). I get an error message :

"Paket ia32-libs kann nicht gefunden werden." (package ia32.libs can not be found)

This is astonishin as I am using a 32bit Linux, and this package should not be necessary. It is not contained in UBUNTU and the new package (Multiarch) replacing it should only be necessary if using 64bit.

Can you help me with this problem? Thank you very much in advance!!

System:

AMD amd phenom 2 x4 945

Linux Mint 16 Petra 32bit (based on Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander »)

Hi Mat,

Thanks a Ton for this script and making the task of installing Lotus notes easy.

The scripts ran well on my 12.04 LTS 32 bit.

But after pressing 1 to accept the license, it all goes blank. Any Clues or guidance?
