Thanks for sharing your experience. It will be useful for everybody to take it into consideration. To buy custom assignment on any topic even on Lotus Notes 8 is very simple!

Download partnumber C99GMML (Sametime 7.5.1), CF1 has not been released for supported Linux distro’s as of yet (Sametime 8.0 to be released tween Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Extract the tarball then execute

code: alien *.rpm

Now you have a *.deb file you can use the package manager to install.

It is “not supported” but so far it has not stopped working for me!

Andy – YES YES – how did you get IBM Connect (aka Lotus Mobile Connect) to run ? I used ‘alien’ on all 7 rpm files but not sure which to try installing – actually I tried each and none seem to install completely.

details please !

Andy, Thanks for stopping by!

IBM connect? Could you clarify what you are referring to please?

I’m able to use IBM connect with the latest Ubuntu. You just “alien” (no scripts) and install the right package and use the command-line wlclient.

Any IBMers need to know how?

Hi Reece, I did say I’d try

Thanks for the reminder though, and the tips!

To be honest I haven’t had time to use the client much on Ubuntu, and I need to give the beta3 a go, but since it looks like the gold release will be coming in August, I might just wait.

Me again.

1) download the .tar file.
2) Run tar -xf on the tar file.
3) Run the setup.sh file as root.
4) let it install.
5) Restart X to get the groovy startup icon in the programs menu for gnome/kde.
6) Go to your home directory, rename the lotus folder to something else. Otherwise the gui never even starts (don’t ask me why).
7) Start lotus notes from the applications menu in your desktop of choice.

note: if you run beryl or compiz, you’ll need to disable them or the java install window comes up as a blank screen. For ubuntu, this means unchecking the options, and then ALSO clicking the “enable desktop effects” button to actually set those changes (yea, weird wording for the button).

Anyone know if a good replacement for the At&t vpn client, or a way to hit the IBM domino servers from linux?

So are you going to give the steps used or not? It’s been over 3 months…
