I'm running 8.5 on Ubuntu 9.04 myself and it's running perfectly

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

Haven't experienced the error you're describing, but check the following:

1) Processes:
Make sure all the processes from prior Notes session are gone before you start fresh.
System restart is probably easiest.

2) Rights
Since the Domino data area resides in each users home directory rights should be ok.
Check anyway write rights to the lotus directory and subs in the user home.

3) Run Notes on a supported platform
Don't do as I do, but use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Without a supported version help from IBM is a problem.

To make Notes look good and behave as expected there are some tricks you need to perform:

1) Install extra fonts
Command:
sudo apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree

2) Fix problem with launching/editing attachments (Ubuntu problem)
Commands:
sudo mv /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwith /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwith.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-open /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/openwith

Good luck
Ove
