[. . . ] 8. 1. 10 Address Books Do Not Display in GroupWise When Installing GroupWise after Outlook 2003 If you install Outlook, then install GroupWise, then uninstall Outlook, you must reinstall GroupWise in order to restore MAPI, which is uninstalled along with Outlook. To avoid this problem, uninstall Outlook before you install GroupWise. 8. 1. 11 Updated JAWS Script Available Users of the JAWS screen reader should install the new JAWS script available in GroupWise 7 and 8. Follow the instructions in the \client\jaws\gw_jaws_readme. txt file to install the JAWS script and other files on your workstation. This JAWS script includes Section 508 accessibility bug fixes that have occurred since the script was updated for GroupWise 6. 5 Support Pack 3. 8. 1. 12 VMware and Proxy If you run the GroupWise Windows client in a VMware virtual machine, you might receive an 8503 error when you try to proxy to another user's mailbox or display a Multi-User Calendar. To eliminate this problem, you need to disable the VMware adapters on your Windows workstation. 1 Right-click My Network Places, then click Properties. In the list of LAN connections, you see one or more VMware adapters. 2 Right-click each adapter, then click Disable. 8. 2 Linux/Mac Client Issues "Linux Client Package Dependencies" on page 17 "Problem Displaying Flash Content in Web Panels" on page 18 "KDE Integration with the Linux Client" on page 18 "Sound Device Issue" on page 18 "Indexing Limitation of Mac Client in Caching Mode" on page 18 "Default Contacts Folder" on page 18 "Running as root in Caching Mode" on page 19 "Archiving Over the Network" on page 19 "No Progress Bar Displayed When a Database Is Rebuilt" on page 19 8. 2. 1 Linux Client Package Dependencies Depending on the Linux version on your workstation, you might need to install the following packages to resolve dependencies for the GroupWise Linux client: OpenMotif 2. 2 or later The GIMP Toolkit (GTK) 2 or later libstdc++33 or later GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 17 novdocx (en) 16 April 2010 Typically, these packages are part of your base Linux operating system. 8. 2. 2 Problem Displaying Flash Content in Web Panels In the GroupWise Linux client, if you display a Web page that includes Flash content, and if you have Adobe Flash Player 9 installed in your Web browser, the GroupWise Linux client might crash. Install the latest Support Pack for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop to resolve the problem. This Support Pack includes an updated version of Flash Player 9, where the problem no longer occurs. 8. 2. 3 KDE Integration with the Linux Client By default, KDE applications like Konqueror or other KDE-based applications do not launch the Linux GroupWise client when a mailto link is selected. To configure KDE-based applications to work with the GroupWise Linux client, see TID 7001213 in the Novell Support Knowledgebase (http://www. novell. com/support). 8. 2. 4 Sound Device Issue The Linux/Mac client currently requires exclusive access to the sound device in your workstation. As a result, if Notify is turned on and configured to play a sound for notifications or alarms, other programs cannot use the sound device as long as Notify is running. Novell is awaiting a Sun Java fix in order to resolve this problem. 8. 2. 5 Indexing Limitation of Mac Client in Caching Mode The new indexable file types of PDF, OpenOffice. org, and Microsoft Office 2007 are not indexed by the Mac client in Caching Mode. The module that provides this functionality is not currently available on the Mac. If you change to Online mode, the POA handles this indexing, so you can find these document types in Online mode. 8. 2. 6 Default Contacts Folder In GroupWise 8, the default Contacts folder is named Frequent Contacts and corresponds to your Frequent Contacts address book. [. . . ] However, on some distributions of Linux, the ISO-8859-5 character set must be set explicitly in order for your Russian keyboard to work with the GroupWise Linux/Mac client. Use the following command to specify the character set along with the language and locale information: export LANG=ru_RU. ISO-8859-5 In most cases, setting the LANG environment variable also sets all LC_* environment variables and resolves all Russian keyboard problems. If you set the LANG environment variable and your Russian keyboard still does not work, use the following command to view the current settings for the LANG and LC_* environment variables: locale If any of the LC_* environment variables have not inherited the ISO-8859-5 specification, export them individually. 13. 3. 3 Mnemonics for Arabic, Hebrew, and Double-Byte Languages Keyboard mnemonics for menu items work for characters a-z and A-Z, but not for other characters.
