SRSS on Ubuntu/Linux
The following instruction is a quick HOWTO which explains how to install the SunRay Software (SRS) on Ubuntu/Linux 11.04 (i386/amd64). Unlike the previous HOWTO guides posted here on wiki.sun-rays.org, this guide is based on a third-party installation package which contains all necessary packages and an installation script which allows to run the installation in one run.
Requirements
This HOWTO is based on the following requirements:
- Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) i386 or amd64 -- see [1]
- SRS 5.2 (including SRSS 4.3 and SRWC 2.2) -- see [2]
- Third-Party SRS-Ubuntu installation package -- see [3]
Installation
After you have downloaded all prerequisite packages (SRS 5.2 and SRS-Ubuntu-5.2-11.04.tar.bz2) you can can continue with the following install procedure:
1. Download the SRS-Ubuntu installation package
wget http://www.jens-langner.de/ftp/srs/SRS-Ubuntu-5.2-11.04.tar.bz2
2. Unarchive this installation package to a temporary directory
tar xjf SRS-Ubuntu-5.2-11.04.tar.bz2
3. Change your current directory to "srs-ubuntu-install"
cd srs-ubuntu-install
4. Download the SRS installation zip from https://edelivery.oracle.com to the srs-ubuntu-install directory.
5. Make sure you have the gdm-2.20.10 packages installed. Eventually install it via:
dpkg -i deb/gdm-2.20_2.20.10-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
6. Make sure you have an OSS enabled kernel installed. Eventually install it via:
dpkg -i deb/linux-headers-2.6.38.7-srss_2.6.38.7-srss-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb dpkg -i deb/linux-image-2.6.38.7-srss_2.6.38.7-srss-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
7. Make sure to reboot your system in case you install the new kernel from (6) and verify that the kernel is running after the reboot. After reboot, change to the temporary directory again where the srs-ubuntu-install packages was extracted to.
