In an attempt to help people who also need to install one of these apps on a recent Ubuntu version, here is how I did it:
Home'Bank
ING is phasing out it's Home'Bank security module so the download is ages old and references a bunch of old libraries.
Start by downloading the HomeBank333.deb and simply install it as you would any other .deb. Next thing to do is pin the Home'Bank version in Synaptec to avoid this bug: 380511. To do that, start Synaptec, find the homebank package and select Package>Lock Version.
If you try to run /opt/HomeBank/HBSecurity, it will complain about 3 missing libraries:
- libtiff.so.3 is missing -- simply sym-link it:
cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
- libexpat.so.0 is missing -- install and sym-link it:
sudo apt-get install libexpat1 cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s /lib/libexpat.so.1 libexpat.so.0
- libstdc++libc6.2-2.so.3 is missing -- this is an old Dapper Drake package that you can still download and install

This is actually straightforward. A .deb package is provided for recent Ubuntu versions that installs and runs without any problems. The only problem on my machine was that my smart card reader was not being recognized (an Alcor Micro Corp. EMV Certified Smart Card Reader in my case -- do a lsusb in a terminal to find out what type of smart card reader you have). To rectify that, I had to install the libccid package:
sudo apt-get install libccidOnce that is done you can simply follow the install instructions provided in a PDF to configure your Firefox to use the new certificates and you should be up-and-running!
Thanks a lot Erwin, I was struggling to do this on laptop. I really appreciate your help
ReplyDeleteFor Home'Bank, you could also just use the web application combined with the UCR (Unconnected Card Reader) which ING has been handing out for the last months/year.
