The better solution is to just go for a fresh install, by renaming your 8.0.1 install folder and doing a fresh install: sudo mv /opt/ibm /opt/ibm.bak # Change this folder to your settings There's an acknowledged issue, and comments about this. This has something to do with how Instant Messaging is configured in Sametime. If you're upgrading from 8.0.1, you can probably still perform the fresh install steps above, but there's a caveat! It seems that if you had Sametime installed in 8.0.1 and you run the install you'll have an endless number of "ActivityMonitor" or "ScheduleAutoLogin" messages. Sudo dpkg -install ibm-lotus-activities_8.5.1.deb Sudo dpkg -install ibm-lotus-sametime_8.5.1.deb # Optionally, install Sametime, Activities, etc. If you're doing a fresh install, just run the installation: sudo dpkg -install ibm-lotus-notes_8.5.1.deb If all you have are RPM files, you'll have to convert them to DEB using alien: sudo alien *.rpm You'll now have a set of RPM or DEB files.Once you have the tarball, (usually something like lotus_notes851_linux.tar), extract it into a new folder: mkdir lotus_notes Please see the Administration help included for more information. Note that a lot of server administration can be done using a web administration interface included with the Domino server. So Linux users can use the Domino server and Notes clients for mail and applications, but server administration and application design needs to be done using Windows. Note that while the client is supported for Ubuntu, the server installation requires a little googling/tweaking to succeed. The client, Lotus Notes, and the server, Lotus Domino, are available. Note that the Administration Client and Domino Designer client are only available for Windows. Evaluation downloads including all supported platforms are available here: Evaluate: Lotus Notes and Domino Administrator clients. It provides instructions for all the OS's IBM supports for Notes.
