Groupwise Client 703HP1

English Applications
#1

just installed gw client 703HP1 on OpenSuse 11.0 and the application hangs when I try to open an html e-mail:mad:. Has anybody have that same problem and maybe solved it already? Or does anybody knows how to use Evolution as a client with GW 7 mail-server?:wink:

Thanks for any help!:smiley:

I had to to do the following to get the last couple groupwise clients to work (10.3 and 11).

First:
Cool Solutions: Solving Problems with Xplat GroupWise on openSUSE 10.3

It turns out there’s a problem with java and the 2.26.22 kernel.

The fix was to edit /opt/novell/groupwise/client/groupwise and insert the following on a new line after the #! /bin/sh header:

export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

The edited file should look like this:

#!/bin/bash
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/groupwise/client/jre/lib/i386:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise-bin “$@”

Second: the second issue relates to images.
Cool Solutions: Solving Client Lockups on openSUSE 10.3

In my case I had gtk2 installed. After installing regular gtk (addition, did not remove gtk2) everything seems stable. I haven’t had any lockups since installing regular gtk.

Hope that helps

artemedes,

Thanks for your help!! But strangely it didn’t work for me…:confused:
What I didn’t tell is that I run the 64-bit version… maybe that’s different???

I found another post which I tried, and now I have scroll-bars in the html message but the groupwise-client still hangs. The thing I tried was:
In the groupwise.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GroupWise
Comment=Novell GroupWise Client
GenericName=Mail
Exec=/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise.sh -jvm=-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit
Icon=/opt/novell/groupwise/client/gwclient.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;Email;

Any other suggestions??

Thanks again.

Greetz,
