Sun Ray Server Software 3.1.1 on Fedora Core 6

From Sun Ray User Group Wiki

Reposted with thanks to the individual who made this possible with updates.

Note: Testing has not been completed on the x86_64 which involve modification to the modules code and information is not available at this time. Please make sure SELinux is disabled unless you are savy with it as it will cause problems.

Openoffice Note: For running openoffice the environment variable SAL_NOOPENGL=true

  env SAL_NOOPENGL=true ooffice

Otherwise you will get soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed. soffice.bin: xcb_io.c:182: process_responses: Assertion `((int) (((dpy->last_request_read)) - ((dpy->request))) <= 0)' failed.

Note1: Please note the patches for x86_64 bit were obtained from the Installing Sun Ray Server on Debian instructions.

  1. Ensure you have ALL updates to Fedora, especially kernel updates.
  2. Download and unpack the SRSS software bunlde
  3. Install the required packages:
         yum install mksh compat-openldap glib-1.2.10 tftp-server dhcp openldap*
  4. cd /bin && mv ksh ksh.fedora && ln -s mksh ksh && cd -
         (note: if ksh does not exist, ln -s /bin/mksh /bin/ksh  and ln -s /bin/mksh /usr/bin/ksh)
  5. telinit 3, relogin as root. Edit /etc/inittab make default runlevel 3 (can revert once 
     gdm working at end of install)
  6. Install Java as per normal:
          In this example I used Sun JDK 1.5.0_12 and needed:
               cd /usr && ln -s java/jdk1.5.0_12 j2se
         (if you don't want to download it, it comes as part of the Supplemental directory 
          along with apache tomcat.   both can be installed in /opt if desired)
          Ensure that the link /etc/opt/SUNWut/jre points to your java installation
          directory such that /etc/opt/SUNWut/jre/bin/java resolves.  Check this following
          the RPM installations in step 9.
  7. mkdir /usr/X11R6 && cd /usr/X11R6 && mkdir lib && rm -rf bin && ln -s ../bin && cd lib && ln -s ../../share/X11
  8. cd /usr/lib and....
         * ln -s libldap-2.2.so.7 libldap.so.199
         * ln -s liblber-2.2.so.7 liblber.so.199
         * ln -s libgdbm.so libgdbm.so.3 
  9. Add packages  
             -- you will get some failures in audio device compilation 
                and utio module compilation. Ignore for now.  
                On kernel 2.6.24, bio_endio needs to be adapted and 
                the __WORDSIZE needs to be set.   diff will be included later.
          
         rpm -i --nodeps Sun_Ray_Core_Services_*/Linux/Packages/* 
         rpm -i --nodeps Sun_Ray_Data_Store_*/Linux/Packages/*
         rpm -i --nodeps Kiosk_Mode_*/Linux/Packages/*
         (note if you want to skip steps 10 and 11, create an empty config.h in the 
          kernel-headers include/linux directory.)
 10. cd /usr/src/SUNWut/utio Edit utio.c to remove #include line. make && make install
 11. cd /usr/src/SUNWut/utadem Edit utadem.c to remove #include line. make && make install
 12. Edit /etc/inittab, change the following line:
     x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
     to....
     x:5:once:/usr/sbin/gdm
 13. Replace /etc/gdm/custom.conf with the attached Image:Gdm-custom.txt file (rename to 
     custom.conf).
     at this point run /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utquery and you should get the command line 
     instructions.  if you receive a relocation error, SELinux is not disabled or 
     configured properly.
 13a. Add a .sh to the following 2 files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
         ln -s 0010.SUNWut.xdmEnv 0010.SUNWut.xdmEnv.sh
         ln -s 0100.SUNWut 0100.SUNWut.sh
 14. reboot
 15. telinit 5. Ensure gdm runs normally on local console. You may re-enable default 
     runlevel 5 here if you want.
 16. configure SRSS as per normal. NOTE: only tested with utadm -L on method (utadm, 
     utconfig, utrestart)
 17. on the Sun Ray terminal, once logged in:
        a. Check the environment variables (will not be exact) with   
                 env | grep SUN

If things aren't working as expected, the first place to look is in the log files under /var/opt/SUNWut/log.
