Doing a brief Google search I found this thread about a change made in libgtk that breaks Lotus Notes.

The solution is in comment #13: just follow the simple instructions and Lotus Notes will be working again.

Update – Nov, 4th 2009

As pointed out by jklocke, a fresh Lotus Notes installation on Ubuntu 9.10 doesn’t work: Notes won’t start at all.

The solution he found is very simple and quick: Notes cannot find the packages libgnomeprint2.2-0 and libgnomeprintui2.2-0.

To resolve the problem run this command to install missing libraries:

sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-0

Update – Mar, 30th 2010

Some commenters reported that they couldn’t see checkboxes status in preferences.
The solution found by ElToro and confirmed by Perin is to switch the theme to New Wave.

I’ve searched for a setting, but couldn’t find none so Goggle helped me: Notes is looking for a font called Luxi contained in the package ttf-xfree86-nonfree.

Installation is very simple:

sudo apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree

Insert your password and you are done.
