Installing Notes 8 on Ubuntu 7.04: now it's looking good
by Volker Weber
[Ubuntu with Clearlooks theme fullscreen on Macbook at 1280x800: full picture. Same screenshot on Windows XP with Zune theme and with default theme. Larger screen on Vista without Aero and Vista with Aero, courtesy of Matthias. Thanks!]
Rod Stauffer had the missing piece: install the ttf-xfree86-nonfree package which includes the default Notes font. Summary:
- Replace dash with bash
- Run setup.sh with sudo
- Take ownership of ˜/lotus or remove the directory
- Install ttf-xfree86-nonfree

Another missing piece: GTK 2 theme. Dropdown buttons in screenshot looks very ugly comparing with other controls
What is the exact package you wish to install?
There is no package as far as I know.
But may be someone will create a GTK theme to follow Notes 8 design.
fyi: Worked like this without problems on Kubuntu 7.04 - additionally I had to install libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0 and libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0 (I had to start the client from a terminal to see it complaining about these missing libs). Thanks for the summary!
