Environment
NOTE: Running a GroupWise Linux Client on an OpenSuSE
workstation is not officially supported by Novell Technical
Services. To see a list of supported platforms, please visit
the documentation site at https://www.novell.com/documentation
Situation
When attempting to start the GroupWise Linux client on OpenSuSE
10.3, the client will not launch. No error messages normally
appear.
Resolution
Many have found success by modifying the /opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise file. On the line after the first export enter:
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
The whole file should then read:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/groupwise/client/lib:/opt/novell/groupwise/client/jre/lib/i386
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise-bin "$@”
