Installation
Note 1: This is an installation on a 64-bit Debian (amd64 architecture).
Note 2: I only tested this on a headless server. There may be problems in this setup with non-SunRay X sessions.
- Install some necessary packages:
apt-get install alien atftpd dhcp3-server gdm module-assistant tcsh \ pdksh unzip tk8.6 gawk x11-xkb-utils ldap-utils libldap-2.4-2 xfonts-base \ libgdbm3 ia32-libs tomcat6 sun-java6-jdk iputils-ping wget libx11-6 libfreetype6 \ xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi devscripts x11-xserver-utils debootstrap
- Unpack SRSS into some temporary directory:
unzip srss_4.2_linux.zip
- Convert the packages to 64 bit deb packages and install them:
cd srss_4.2
find . -name SUNW*.rpm -exec alien -d -g {} \;
find SUNW*-* -name control -exec sed -i "s/i386/amd64/g" {} \;
find SUNW*-*/ -maxdepth 0 -name "SUNW*-?.?" -exec sh -c "cd {} ; debian/rules binary-arch" \;
find . -name "sunw*deb" -exec dpkg -i {} \;
- Unpack patch 140995-01 and install it:
unzip 140995-01.zip
cd 140995-01
find . -name 'SUNW*.rpm' -exec alien -d -g {} \;
find SUNW*-* -name control -exec sed -i "s/i386/amd64/g" {} \;
find SUNW*-*/ -maxdepth 0 -name "SUNW*-?.?" -exec sh -c "cd {} ; debian/rules binary-arch" \;
find . -name "sunw*deb" -exec dpkg -i {} \;
- SRSS binaries are 32 bit only and we need additional 32bit libraries. The easiest way to get this is a 32bit chroot environment:
debootstrap --arch i386 sid /var/chroot/sid-ia32 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ cp /etc/apt/sources.list /var/chroot/sid-ia32/etc/apt/ chroot /var/chroot/sid-ia32 echo "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install libmotif3 libxfont1 libgdbm3 sun-java6-jre libglib1.2 exit echo "/var/chroot/sid-ia32/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf echo "/var/chroot/sid-ia32/usr/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig
(For some stupid reason, /opt/SUNWut/lib/libusbut.so.1 needs glib1.2 which is deprecated for many years. Luckily, archive.debian.org exists.)
- If you have no /etc/lsb-release file, generate it with
echo "DISTRIB_ID=Debian" > /etc/lsb-release
- Download and apply some patches
wget -O /tmp/Patch-SUNWkio42 http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/9/9e/Patch-SUNWkio42.txt wget -O /tmp/Patch-SUNWutref42 http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/e/e9/Patch-SUNWutref42.txt wget -O /tmp/Patch-SUNWut42a http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/5/51/Patch-SUNWut42a.txt wget -O /tmp/Patch-etc-initd http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/a/a4/Patch-etc-initd.txt wget -O /tmp/Pathc-etc-opt http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/4/43/Patch-etc-opt.txt cd /opt patch -p0 < /tmp/Patch-SUNWkio42 patch -p0 < /tmp/Patch-SUNWutref42 patch -p0 < /tmp/Patch-SUNWut42a cd /etc patch -p0 < /tmp/Patch-etc-initd patch -p0 < /tmp/Pathc-etc-opt
- Some more preparations:
mkdir /var/dt rm -f /etc/opt/SUNWut/gmSignature touch /etc/opt/SUNWut/gmSignature chmod 600 /etc/opt/SUNWut/gmSignature ln -s /var/chroot/sid-ia32/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre /etc/opt/SUNWut mkdir /etc/sysconfig echo -e "DHCPD_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES\nDHCPD_INTERFACE" >/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd cd /etc/init.d rm utsvtreg chmod 755 zsunray-init update-rc.d zsunray-init defaults wget -O /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10SUNWut http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/d/d5/10SUNWut.41b.sh
- Workaround for Sun Java's problem with IPv6 [1]
sed -i 's/net.ipv6.bindv6only\ =\ 1/net.ipv6.bindv6only\ =\ 0/' /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf invoke-rc.d procps restart
- SRSS seems not to work with tomcat6, so we install the tomcat5.5 version coming with SRSS
cd /opt tar xvzf <where you unpacked SRSS>/srss_4.2/Supplemental/Apache_Tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar.gz ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.20 /opt/tomcat55
- Use Debian's module-assistant to prepare the system for kernel module builds:
m-a -t prepare
- Patch and build the kernel modules

- The following will create some symlinks, patch some files in /etc/pam.d/ and patch /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
/etc/init.d/utsyscfg start
/etc/gdm/custom.conf should now include at least the lines
[daemon] # SUNWut BEGIN - do not edit VTAllocation=false DynamicXServers=true Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter RebootCommand= HaltCommand= XKeepsCrashing=/etc/opt/SUNWut/gdm/XKeepsCrashing.sunray # SUNWut END
If you don't want gdm to start an X server at the server console, then add the lines
[servers] 0=inactive
Since an existing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf has priority over /etc/gdm/custom.conf, we move it away
mv /etc/gdm/gdm.conf /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.bak ln -s /etc/gdm/custom.conf /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
- Enable USB mounts, see [2]
ln -s /opt/SUNWut/lib/libutdev.so.1 /usr/lib; ldconfig
- If you have not already configured the DHCP-server on your machine for other clients, you should empty the current config, so the Sun Ray Server Software adds its entries to a clean config and not the debian example one:
mv /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf.sample; touch /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
If you have already configured a dhcp-server, make a backup-copy of your old config, just in case.
You can now configure the server with /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utconfig and /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm. See the SRSS documentation for possible options. When you want to use the SRSS Web administration tool and utconfig asks for the "Apache Tomcat installation directory", answer /opt/tomcat55.
The utadm script should have added some lines to your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. It will now look like:
include "/etc/opt/SUNWut/net/dhcp/SunRay-options"; include "/etc/opt/SUNWut/net/dhcp/SunRay-interface-eth2";
- XKB data: we use the XKB data provided by SRSS in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/, add all files from /usr/share/X11/xkb/ which are missing (but don't overwrite files already existing in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/) and provide this mixture of files both as /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb and as /usr/share/X11/xkb.
cp -a /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb.bak mv /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb.bak cp -an /usr/share/X11/xkb.bak/* /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/ rm -rf /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/compiled ln -s /var/lib/xkb /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/compiled ln -s /usr/bin/xkbcomp /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/xkbcomp ln -s /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb /usr/share/X11/
- Audio support via Pulseaudio
apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-x11 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio \ pulseaudio-esound-compat libasound2-plugins
Create a global 'utpulse.pa' file in /opt/SUNWut/lib with the following content
load-module module-oss device=UTAUDIODEV playback=1 record=0 fragment_size=8192 load-module module-native-protocol-unix
Create a pulseaudio setup script '66SUNW-pulseaudio' in /etc/X11/Xsession.d with the following content:
set +e
pkill -U $USER esd
pkill -U $USER pulseaudio
set -e
unset LD_PRELOAD
if [ "${UTAUDIODEV}" != "" ] ; then
if [ ! -d ${HOME}/.pulse ] ; then
mkdir ${HOME}/.pulse
fi
# create pulseaudio configuration for utaudio
PULSECONF=${HOME}/.pulse/default.pa
sed "s|UTAUDIODEV|$UTAUDIODEV|g" /opt/SUNWut/lib/utpulse.pa > ${PULSECONF}
# create asoundrc for pulseaudio redirection
ASOUNDRC=${HOME}/.asoundrc
echo -n > ${ASOUNDRC}
echo "pcm.!default { " >> ${ASOUNDRC}
echo " type pulse" >> ${ASOUNDRC}
echo "}" >> ${ASOUNDRC}
echo "ctl.!default { " >> ${ASOUNDRC}
echo " type pulse" >> ${ASOUNDRC}
echo "}" >> ${ASOUNDRC}
else
if [ -d ${HOME}/.pulse ] ; then
rm -f ${HOME}/.pulse/default.pa
fi
fi
- Activate the XKB extension and the XRender extension of the Sun Ray X server
/opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -a -k on /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -a -n on
- Now we can start the SRSS with the following commands
/etc/init.d/gdm restart /etc/init.d/zsunray-init stop /etc/init.d/zsunray-init start

Tips and Tricks
For some additional tips have a look at the SRSS on Ubuntu - Tips and Tricks section in this wiki.
Problems and Solutions
The Webadmin interface does not allow to terminate sessions or to initiate restarts: "An internal error occured"
Edit the file /opt/SUNWut/lib/prototype/inetd.conf.SUNWut.prototype and change "tcp6" to "tcp". After that, a cold restart "/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c" is necessary. (Yes, SRSS is an encroaching beast. It rewrites /etc/inetd.conf not only during installation but during every cold restart.)
