This will give you better performance and a clearer picture. Before you do this you will need to run the following in a command prompt :<br /><br />sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libstdc++5<br /><br />Headers and Build are for Envy and other things, libstdc is for Notes because the IBM deb doen't check for dependancies properly.<br /><br />Other things might be sun-java6-jre for Java, cups-pdf for the PDF printer, and you need luxi sans fonts for Notes but I cannot remember the package (typing on Win at the mo).<br /><br />If you cannot open attachments... :<br /><br />sudo mv /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwith /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwith.old<br /><br />sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-open /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwithmratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404704229042788781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-14013861849112454072009-04-17T19:44:00.000+10:002009-04-17T19:44:00.000+10:00The technical stuff isn't that tricky.
