BlueJeans rpm install on Debian
Raw
bluejeans_rpm_via_alien.md

FYI, for those of us not 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 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.1.5.0  libudev.so.0

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