SRSS-4.0-48 F7 linux-2.6.23

From Sun Ray User Group Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

most of this is "borrowed" from Sun_Ray_Server_Software_3.1.1_on_Fedora_Core_6. especially point 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 13a, i've been following, as well as the stuff below. 

rpm -ihv --nodeps srss_4.0/Sun_Ray_Core_Services_4.0/Linux/Packages/SUNW*.rpm

ignore the errors, for now 

rpm -ihv --nodeps srss_4.0/Sun_Ray_Data_Store_3.0/Linux/Packages/SUNWutds*.rpm
rpm -ihv --nodeps srss_4.0/Kiosk_Mode_4.0/Linux/Packages/SUNWkio*.rpm

download the following patches. they change the linux kernel drivers (utdisk, utdiskctl, utio, utadem) to compile on 2.6.23.X. 

cd /
patch -p0 < SUNWutdsk-4.0-48.i386.rpm-linux-2.6.23.patch.txt
patch -p0 < SUNWutio-4.0-48.i386.rpm-linux-2.6.23.patch.txt
patch -p0 < SUNWutkau-4.0-48.i386.rpm-linux-2.6.23.patch.txt
for i in utadem utdisk utio; do
 cd /usr/src/SUNWut/$i
 make
 make install
done
depmod -a

there are still a couple of issues:

  • utdiskctl/utdisk: it seems that the disk module crashes. if you plugin a usbstick, a disk is created (utdiskctl seems ok), but the utdisk kernel module ooopses (no system crash, suprisingly). works just fine now (in the first patch there was a pointer to a function that used to be empty -- now the function is called directly).
  • utio creates the physical serial device in $UTDEVROOT/dev/term/a, but i've not tested access to it, neither i've tested a usb->serial converter.
  • utio/parallel: i've no usb->parallel converter available, so i can't test.
  • utadem: audio output works, although volume setting using gnome-volume-control is not ok. setting the volume using utsettings seems ok. audio input is untested.
