Installing Notes 8 using "su root" on Linux
To install Lotus Notes in graphical mode, you may need to log into the Desktop as root, rather than run
the install by switching to the root user using "su root". The procedure to use "su root" and then install
Lotus Notes 8 is as below:
1. Launch a terminal window as a non-root user.
2. Type xhost +.
3. Open a terminal window.
4. Type su root.
5. Enter the root password.
6. Execute the Lotus Notes 8 install instructions.
If you are installing Notes 8 on the SLED 10 platform, you cannot use "su root" to change user privileges
but rather must log in to the Desktop as root.
