 |
|
I don't know how many of you have the urgent need to get Lotus Notes 8 running under ADM64 -
but now that there exists a native client for Linux I thought it might be worth the effort to document
how to get it running, because unfortunately, 64bit operating systems are not supported.
- If you don't already have it, you can download a 60 day trial of Lotus Notes for Linux via this link:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ls/lsndad/ (reg. req.)
- At first, follow the steps outlined in the 32bit chroot howto.
If you use the current 2008.0_beta release, you don't need to emerge setarch, you already have it.
- Once you have a complete 32bit chroot, you can emerge therein the libraries that are required for the installation to succeed:
| Code: | | emerge gnome-base/libgnomeprintui gnome-base/libgnomeui x11-base/xorg-server x11-libs/gtk+ |
To speed up the compilation, it might be advisable to add the following settings to your /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
PORTAGE_NICENESS=3
FEATURES="parallel-fetch userfetch userpriv usersandbox"
VIDEO_CARDS="none"
USE="-ipv6 -dri -pam -acl cups -X"
|
However you will need X support in cairo, therefore you then also have to set /etc/portage/package.use to:
With these prerequisites fulfilled, installation of Lotus Notes can begin, by untaring the downloaded file and running setup.sh.
To start Lotus Notes as an unprivileged user, setup dchroot as described in the AMD64 howto on gentoo-wiki.com.
One open issue on my machine is the size of some fonts - I haven't found a good solution for that,
besides installing a number of fonts and giving each of them a try -> hints are welcome!  |

Are you able to run X programs in your gentoo32 jailroot? if you emerge xeyes, can they run? If not, you might have so call | Code: | | xhost local:localhost |
before jailing...
If that doesn't help, strace'ing the installer should help you find at which point it gives up - I had the same issue until I installed x11-base/xorg-server and x11-libs/gtk+ in the jailroot. |

Hi,
yes, exactly, I use the ID file I got from my admin. I wasn't even aware that Notes would
support something like smartcards... I didn't install anything to that end, too. |

Hmm, I don't think it will be possible to execute your non-jailrooted firefox from the jailroot
(that's what a jailroot is all about, in the end).
So, you'd have to install a browser within the jailroot for that to work. |

I just disable using external browser in Notes config and now it works. |
