Notes - problem strating

Hi - Thank-you for the reply.

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

Rebooting is not a useful suggestion and nor does it not work. I have killed off all offending processes before and still had the same message - Did I miss some? Also, if it was a problem of processes left running then the same problem would have persisted after I reinstalled the package and res\installation worked.


"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."
The rights are fine there :
# chmod -R myname ~/lotus verified this.

"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."

Reinstallation. This won't happen. I have to actually work at some point :( I know that our Helpdesk won't downgrade. Ubuntu 9 is their current version. Everyone else uses Notes through tsclient at present.

Would someone list any log files that notes creates when it starts up, and whethere their are any debugging options that I can use to enable verbose logging & so on.

Best wishes.
