Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 on openSUSE 10.2
From Sun Ray User Group Wiki
To install SRSS 4.0 on openSUSE 10.2 some adjustments must be made. Thanks to Jörg Barfurth, who gave me some hints to get the gdm started.
Contents |
Before running utinstall
- Replace ksh with pdksh
rpm -e ksh-93r-41 rpm -i pdksh-5.2.14-822.i586.rpm
I found the package at http://lisa.gov.pt/ftp/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586. But it should be available on every openSUSE mirror.
- Enable tftp with yast2
- tftp will be switched on at Network Services->Network Services (xinetd)
- Copy file gnome.desktop for later use
cp /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop.original
- Remove the installed gdm package and replace it with the SRSS gdm package
rpm -e gdm-2.16.1-36.4 rpm -i --force --nodeps GDM_2.4.4.7.2/Linux/Packages/gdm-2.4.4.7.2-10.i386.rpm
- Save file Xsession for later
cp /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession.original
- Set a couple of links that openSUSE gdm works with SRSS 4.0
ln -s /usr/share/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /usr/lib/xserver /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/X11R6/bin/X ln -s /usr/bin/xdpyinfo /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo ln -s /usr/bin/xrdb /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb ln -s /usr/bin/xset /usr/X11R6/bin/xset
Install SRSS 4.0 with utinstall
Before rebooting the server, after using utinstall perform following steps:
After running utinstall (before reboot)
- Yet again, replace the gdm package. This time remove SSRS gdm and install the newest gdm package
rpm -e gdm-2.4.4.7.2-10 rpm -i gdm-2.16.1-36.4.i586.rpm
- Copy back gnome.desktop and Xsession
cp /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop.original /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop cp /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession.original /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession
- Set a couple of links
ln -s /opt/gnome/share/pixmaps /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome ln -s /opt/gnome/bin/gdmdynamic /usr/bin/gdmdynamic
mv /opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmlogin /opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmlogin.original ln -s /opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter /opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmlogin
- Change one line in files /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/notify and /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/reset-dpy
patch /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/notify < patch-notify patch /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/reset-dpy < patch-notify
This patch can be used to adjust notify and reset-dpy
patch-notify:
12c12 < DMNAME=gdm-binary --- > DMNAME=gdm
- Copy file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.rpmsave to /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf
cp /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.rpmsave /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf
- and configure /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf to work with SRSS
This patch can be used to adjust gdm.conf
patch /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf < patch-gdm.conf
patch-gdm.conf:
40c40 < Configurator=/usr/bin/gdmsetup --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog --- > Configurator=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog 43c43 < Chooser=/usr/bin/gdmchooser --- > Chooser=/opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmchooser 46c46 < Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter --- > Greeter=/opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter 49c49 < RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin --- > RemoteGreeter=/opt/gnome/lib/gdm/gdmlogin 99c99 < ServAuthDir=/var/gdm --- > ServAuthDir=/var/lib/gdm 133a134,135 > # SunRay access > DynamicXServers=true 240c242 < LocaleFile=/etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias --- > LocaleFile=/usr/share/locale/locale.alias 309,310c311,312 < GraphicalTheme=circles < GraphicalThemeDir=/usr/share/gdm/themes/ --- > GraphicalTheme=GDM-SuSE > GraphicalThemeDir=/opt/gnome/share/gdm/themes
Reboot server and configure Sun Ray Server Software
- Install Apache Tomcat:
tar xzf Supplemental/Apache_Tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar.gz
- utconfig
- utadm -a eth1
- (make sure your firewall settings are correct after enabling the network interface)
- utadm -L on
- utrestart

Getting the utadem, utio, and utdisk modules to work
The modules which are included with SRSS 4.0 don't work correctly on "newer" 2.6 kernels (> 2.6.10 for 64bit mode, > 2.6.16 for USB storage). In order to get them to work with openSUSE 10.2 apply patch: Media:Patch-modules-SRSS4-0907.txt. The patch was adjusted by Meik Hellmund to work with SRSS 4.0. The original patch for SRSS 3.1.1 could be found at the page of Michael Gernoth and Thomas Glanzmann. Thanks to Michael Gernoth, Thomas Glanzmann and Meik Hellmund for their excellent work.
- patch all modules:
# patch -p0 -d /usr/src < Patch-modules-SRSS4-0907.txt
- recompile and install them:
make -C /usr/src/SUNWut/utadem clean default install make -C /usr/src/SUNWut/utdisk clean default install make -C /usr/src/SUNWut/utio clean default install depmod -a
- reboot if necessary

Patch 127555-01 installation
After following the patch README instructions, applying all RPMs:
rpm --nodeps -F --noscripts SUNWlibusbut-4.0-48.07.i386.rpm rpm --nodeps -F --noscripts SUNWuta-4.0-48.07.i386.rpm rpm --nodeps -F --noscripts SUNWutfw-4.0-48.07.i386.rpm rpm --nodeps -F --noscripts SUNWuto-4.0-48.07.i386.rpm
the two files /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/notify and /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/reset-dpy have to be changed before rebooting.
patch /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/notify < patch-notify patch /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr/reset-dpy < patch-notify
This patch can be used to adjust notify and reset-dpy
patch-notify:
12c12 < DMNAME=gdm-binary --- > DMNAME=gdm
More to change after patch installation:
Following files will be changed after patch installation. One has to readjust if necessary:
-
/opt/SUNWut/lib/keytables/keytable.map
If keyboard layout was modified before, like described in http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/using_sun_rays_with_non
-
/etc/SunRay-interface-eth1
If MTU was altered before, like described in http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/the_importance_of_mtu
