Question:

Is it possible to use IBM Installation Manager GUI mode in Ubuntu Server? Or is there a command line alternative?

Answer 1

You could try to install IM silently.

You can run the command ./userinstc -log log_file -acceptLicense

Answer 2

Use ./install instead. To resolve your issue, make sure the gtk libraries are installed to support the graphical user interface (GUI).refer
