3) dpkg -i –force-all ibm-notes-9.0.i586.deb

Easier than ever! :-)Thank you IBM!

[Update]

I was to fast…   When I continue to install programs I get this:

I am looking for a solution…

[Update 2]

I had to uninstall and edit the deb-files and rebuild the deb-files, otherwise the dependencies in apt-get uninstalls Notes again. There is plenty of instructions to do this in previous entries in this blog.

[Update 3]

To install OnTime Team-at-a-glance plugin do this:

sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/ibm/notes/framework/shared/eclipse/

sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/

When done do this:

sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/ibm/notes/framework/shared/eclipse/

sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/

Here is how I did it on a fresh install (I am reusing information from old posts):

root@blackbox:/home/anders/Downloads/UbuntuNotes9# ls -la

1) dpkg -i -force-all ibm-notes-9.0.i586.deb

Will give error, remedy is:

2) nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/ibm-notes.postinst

Comment out this part like example below:

#  if [ -f "$1/rcp/collectionutility.jar" ]; then
#    func_installLog “– Running collector with the following command:”
#    func_installLog “– $COLLECTORCOMMAND”
#    $COLLECTORCOMMAND
#  fi

3)

ln -s /opt/ibm/notes /opt/ibm/lotus

mkdir -p /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/

touch /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/rcplauncher.log

4) touch /tmp/rcplauncher.log

5) sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libgnomeprint2.2-0:i386 libgnomeprintui2.2-0:i386 libgnomevfs2-bin:i386 libgnome2-0:i386 libgnomeui-0:i386

After doing the above instructions it is actually running!  Some more packages need to be installed like fonts etc to make it look reasonable.

Sadly my KDE 4.10 environment randomly logs out when using Notes.

[Update 20130321]

Updated commands above to actually work, sorry for this.

First this error:
Setting up ibm-notes (9.0-20121208.0914) …
cat: /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/rcplauncher.log: No such file or directory

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Remedy:

I used nano to comment out this whole section:

nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/ibm-notes.postinst

#  if [ -f "$1/rcp/collectionutility.jar" ]; then
#    func_installLog “– Running collector with the following command:”
#    func_installLog “– $COLLECTORCOMMAND”
#    $COLLECTORCOMMAND
#  fi

Then this:

cat: /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/rcplauncher.log: No such file or directory

Errors were encountered while processing:

mkdir -p /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/

touch /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/rcplauncher.log

Then this:

Errors were encountered while processing:

Remedy:

Then this:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

No hint at all?

I checked for logfiles:

And the folder /opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/systemdata/logs/ looks like this:

logs # ls -laFtr

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 12:35 ./

I am stuck. Luckily I have since earlier installed notes on another installation of Linux Mint 14. Here the upgrade from earlier notes version went fine.

[Update]

sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0:i386 libgnomeprintui2.2-0:i386 libgnomevfs2-bin:i386 libgnome2-0:i386 libgnomeui-0:i386

Now it is running :-)

sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/
and after installation
sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/shared/eclipse/

sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/
Now you can install the Lotus Connections plugins without any errors!

Some quick notes below based on your feedback. I havent had any time to go through this in detail.

Also check this guide for installing on 32bit system: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/Notes_8.5.3_FP2_on_Ubuntu_12.10

Updated after testing guide on a freshly installed Linux Mint 14 64bit

Not a single compatibility library seems to be required.

Here is an image:

[Update] Image worked  well but no special support for syntax hightlightning or anything lite that.

This script has not been tested by me!  Thanks to Skellefteå for providing this script.

#!/bin/sh
FILE=”/Applications/Notes.app/Contents/MacOS/rcp/deploy/jvm.properties”
grep -iq “vmarg.xmx” $FILE
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
sed -i “” “s/vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx256m/vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx768m/g” $FILE
else
echo “vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx768m” >> $FILE
fi

Please give feedback if you have anything to add here. I would like to do a better script. When I tested this it worked as intended. I thing it breaks the jvp.properties file by changing the line break to Windows type (originally unix style). But Notes does not seem to mind this.

Thanks to Hogis for the original code and sorry that comments are in Swedish.
