BlueJeans rpm install on Debian

FYI, for those of us running Debian based systems rather than RedHat, the BlueJeans RPM can be successfully installed via alien

Steps to install BlueJeans on Debian

  • Download BlueJeans RPM
  • Install alien package sudo apt-get install alien
  • Convert BlueJeans RPM to a DEB package sudo alien --to-deb --scripts bluejeans-*.rpm
  • Install resulting DEB sudo dpkg -i bluejeans_*.deb
  • Run BlueJeans with /opt/bluejeans/bluejeans-bin

You may get an error loading the expected udev library

/opt/bluejeans/bluejeans-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If that is the case, create a symlink from your installed libudev to the expected libudev.so.0 like so.

cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo ln -s libudev.so.1  libudev.so.0

You should then be able to successfully run the bluejeans-bin application.

I had the sample problem on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Desktop, in my case I had resolved it with these steps:

sudo alien --to-deb bluejeans-_.rpm sudo dpkg -i bluejeans__.deb

And then add "--scripts" options on alien command and install it again.

sudo alien --to-deb --scripts bluejeans-_.rpm sudo dpkg -i bluejeans__.deb

Work perfectly!

Worked out-of-the-box on Debian 10.2 Buster:

sudo alien --to-deb --scripts BlueJeans.rpm
sudo dpkg -i bluejeans-v2_2.0.0-189_amd64.deb

It is installed into /opt/BlueJeans.
