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:

2011-06-02 03:38:05 -- Execute post-install scripts for Notes

Переключитесь на консоль установки и нажмите Ctrl+c.

apt-get install ibm_lotus_notes-nl2-8.5.2.i586.rpm ibm_lotus_notes-core-ru-8.5.2.i586.rpm

Запуск

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

Примечания

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).

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.

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:

mkdir lotus_notes mv lotus_notes851_linux.tar lotus_notes cd lotus_notes tar -xf lotus_notes851_linux.tar

sudo dpkg --install ibm-lotus-notes_8.5.1.deb # Optionally, install Sametime, Activities, etc. sudo dpkg --install ibm-lotus-sametime_8.5.1.deb sudo dpkg --install ibm-lotus-activities_8.5.1.deb .

sudo mv /opt/ibm /opt/ibm.bak # Change this folder to your settings sudo dpkg --install ibm-lotus-notes_8.5.1.deb .

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

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install eclipse

Graphical Installation Steps

mkdir ~/Desktop/notesclient cd ~/Desktop/notesclient

sudo chown -R me:me /etc/lotus

IBM Lotus Notes does not have a production license. A temporary evaluation license has been enrolled for you to use for 60 days.

Console Installation Steps

• ./setup.sh -console
• 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

• 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

• «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)

  • 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:

  sudo chown -R me:me ~/lotus /opt/ibm

  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

  deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/

  Installation

  Installing wine

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

  $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install wine

  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

  $ mkdir /.wine/dosdevices $ cd /.wine/dosdevices $ ln -s /path/to/windows/d d: $ ln -s /path/to/windows/e e: $ ln -s /path/to/windows/f f: $ ln -s ~ h: # home directory is availble in h: . . . $ ln -s / z: # root partition is availble in z:

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

  wine f:\\Program\ Files\\notes\\nlnotes.exe =f:\\Program\ Files\\Notes\\Data\\notes.ini

  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:

  $ mkdir ~/bin $ gedit ~/bin/lotus-client # add the above command to this file $ chmod 755 ~/bin/lotus-client

  Ibm lotus notes linux

  NOTE: If you’re going to print this out, it would be wise to print Landscape instead of Portrait.

  These are some screenshots outlining my install of the Lotus Notes 7.0.1 Linux Client. For the most part you just need to read the readme.pdf file that comes with the installation files and follow the instructions, but I know that screenshots are nice sometimes too (click on any of the screenshots below to get 800×600 images).

  One general caveat: the current client install (at the time of this writing, August 2006) is only supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4 update 3 (RHEL4), so there may be other things you have to do if you are on another distro (or if you have a non-standard RHEL setup). I used CentOS-4, which is built from the RHEL sources and aims to be 100% binary compatible with Red Hat, and I had no problems.

  If you want to install on another distro, you might want to take a look at this wiki page that talks about installing the client on Debian for some pointers.

  Also, the Linux client install files are currently only available to Passport customers, so you won’t be able to find a trial version for download on the public Lotus site. If you want to use an older version of the Notes client on Linux, you can always try running it with Wine.

  If you have problems, a good place to start looking for answers is the IBM Knowledge Collection Technote: IBM Lotus Notes client for Linux. There’s also a Technote with known limitations of the Linux client. And read the readme.pdf file that gets extracted when you unzip the install files — there are a lot of known issues (and a few workarounds) in there.

  Step 0
  This is probably obvious, but the first thing you have to do is download the Notes client install package and set up your Linux workstation.

  For my testing, I installed CentOS-4 on a VMWare virtual machine with 384 MB of RAM. It worked, but a larger RAM allotment would have been much more comfortable. You’ll also need about 2 GB of free space to handle the install files, the temp files, and all the new program files.

  My CentOS install was the default workstation install, with no customizations. I ran up2date before starting the Notes client install process.

  /updateSite
  /features
  /com.ibm.workplace.notesinstall. linux.feature_7.0.1.0000-0900
  /bin
  /linux

  One nice thing about Linux Terminal windows is that they normally have auto-complete, so you can start typing the name of the file or directory you want and it will fill in the rest for you.

  For example, I wanted to navigate from my home directory to /Desktop/NotesInstall. So I typed «cd De» and pressed the TAB key, which changed the line to «cd Desktop/». Then I pressed ENTER and typed «cd No» and pressed TAB, and the line became «cd NotesInstall».

  However you do it, once you’re in the proper directory, type: «./setup_wct_platform.bin» (or «./set[TAB]» to auto-complete) to run the setup_wct_platform.bin file.

  /opt/IBM/Workplace Managed Client

  /home/centos/IBM/Workplace Managed Client

  But don’t worry, it’s not a full reboot like you’re used to on Windows machines, just a simple log out and log in.

  You will also see a nifty new «IBM Lotus Notes» icon on your Desktop.

  Overall, the whole install process took about 20 minutes, so not too bad. And a lot of what you’re doing is waiting on files to unzip or copy or configure themselves. Not a lot of options at all, but there are a few tricks.

  It’s not as easy as an RPM or DEB packaged app, but it’s a lot better than building from source. Just remember to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
