Bug 549054

I'm not sure how is it related with openSUSE - we don't distribute a Lotus Notes and I don't think it uses anything else from system, than JVM.

I'll try to helpy you, but need more information - from where you've downloaded, which libraries did you used, and aren't there some error messages (in console)?

Hi manny thx for ur support,


unfortunatley I found no error message, but I give you a console log. My problem is you can see on an overview that an new emali arrives (Notes 8.5) , if you click on it a new window opens but you can't see anything.

I have the impression , due to problems with eclipse and wxgtk problems (not yet reported) that this is related to the gdk. Notes works oopenSuse 11.1 so I thought I give it a try on 11,2,

Well, this list contains a lot of packages probably not related to Lotus Notes, so it's hard to say, where should be a problem. I'd like to ask why you're using jdk-1.6.0_16-fcs instead of openSUSE package java-1_6_0-sun? I'm not sure if this rpm uses update-alternatives in jpackage.org style, so your default java would be gcj, which might be a problem - are you sure that Lotus Notes uses a right JVM implementation?

Anyway according Lotus Notes [1] website there's nothing like wxWidgets in requirements, only gtk+ and related libraries, so the problem might be here, if it's not in Java.

Hi,

no not all are related to notes, I installed an Oracle DB as well.Usually I work with an oracle tool called sqldeveloper  which notices the supplied jdk as an unknbown and in the past I had some troubel with the jdk supplied by opensuse as well with eclipse if use the EPCI exstension. 

The wxwidgets I use for ruby development and have the as well some problems , but this  topic is related to a different thread. The notes anyway uses a different  java:

linuxe:/opt/ibm/lotus # find . -name "java"
./notes/framework/rcp/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.rcp.j2se.linux.x86_1.6.0.20081022b-200811140851/jre/bin/java
./notes/jvm/bin/java

Well, it seems that Lotus Notes has a bundled JVM, so it probably uses it. So the problem is not in Java, even if it's hard to say where it is. The IBM page mentioned in comment#5 says that it depends on many packages, but it should be a display problem, so reassigning to gtk2 maintainer, hopefully he will have more luck.

Hi 

in the meantime I found a workaround for this problem, I downloaded from http://linux-aha.de/wordpress/?p=231 several libs into my homedirectory and changed the working directory at notes icon to

/home/dirk/notes_libs_karmic

linuxe:/home/dirk/notes_libs_karmic # pwd
/home/dirk/notes_libs_karmic
linuxe:/home/dirk/notes_libs_karmic # ls -la
total 5332
drwxr-xr-x  2 dirk users     121 Oct 26 15:33 .

-rw-------  1 dirk users 4579940 Sep 20 00:26 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
linuxe:/home/dirk/notes_libs_karmic #

maybe it is possible to fix this in the deployment of OpenSuse

I had exactly the same problem, and this workaround worked for me too.

This is bug 538756, most probably.
