Re: [LUG] Smart Notebook

 
Well I'm here

http://bg.britanica-edu.org/

why am I on DCLUG, well I still sort of have a base in mid Devon.
Smart Notebook seems to be OK on kubuntu, though the look n feel isn't as slick as a native KDE app. If you want it on mint do the 

wget 
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/udev/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_i386.deb

and install it. Then the

sudo apt-key add swbuild.asc

from the command line in the unpacked directory. Then I just installed the various 
*.debs by clicking on them in file manager. And ignored the nwfermi, something to do 
with running a windows smart board I think. It works! There's a lot of it!

Ah, ditto. At last examination .notebook files were proprietary and only compatible with SMART Notebook. That suggestion is distinctly less helpful if you're not the only person using it, or if you're supporting SMART. Out of interest, which school? You can guess mine from the domain.

Unfortunately it's what my school (language) uses and unless
open-sankore is compatable with smart notebook its a no go. As anything
I do will be used on a smart whiteboard from windows. Got it installed,
it works fine. But yes looks very bloated!

Thanks

Use it professionally on Windows and Mac but never on Linux. Might try
in a Mint VM if no-one else can help.

Otherwise try http://open-sankore.org/ It performs largely the same
task but it's much lighter weight and is open source. SMART Notebook
has been almost universally criticised by a lot of users I know for
slowing their machines down. It's very bloated.

    Hi

    Does anyone have any experience of installing Smart Notebook on
k/ubuntu? I downloaded the *.deb version and just get unmet dependencies and libraries that won't be installed. I can mail the output if anyone 
    can help with it.

    I don't want to run a smart board, just have the basic package for
preparing classroom presentations and was wondering if anyone here uses it on linux and what they had to do to get it up and running. Otherwise 
    it looks like virtual box and windows 7.

    Thanks

    Simon
