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. Other personal address books display as subfolders under the
Frequent Contacts folder.
In GroupWise 7, there was only one Contacts folder. It was assigned to your Frequent Contacts
address book by default, but you could assign it to different personal address books. If you changed
the address book assigned to the Contacts folder in GroupWise 7, this address book carries over as
the main Contacts folder in GroupWise 8.
If you want to change your main Contacts folder back to the Frequent Contacts address book:
1
Linux: Right-click your main Contacts folder.
Mac: Control-click your main Contacts folder.
