[SunRay-Users] SRS 5.4 on Oracle Linux 6.3 'Performance Issues'
Hi We've recently installed SRS 5.4 on Oracle Linux 6.3 on our Sun Ray environment consisting of 5 servers in a failover group. We are experiencing an issue where a server will start creating sessions and working well, but after some time the new sessions stop working, even if they are killed with 'utsession -k'. After this time no new sessions will work on this server, we just get '26D' on the Sun Ray client. The server has to be put offline 'utadm -f' until it can be rebooted to clear the problem. It looks to me like GDM is failing to start correctly after some number of sessions has been reached. I have applied the dbus changes recommended here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35310_01/E35308/html/Issues-Performance-Update.html, but haven't rebooted the servers yet. We don't have a high number of sessions per server (not 80, more like 25-40). Does anyone know what kind of symtoms are shown by the 'performance issues' discussed in this article? Are there any other configuration issues to watch out for with dbus/gdm? - Murray ___ SunRay-Users mailing list SunRay-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users

After closing the serial port Sun Ray seems to make it disappear for a while - usually a 5 second wait will be sufficient. * In elotouch.c around line 75 (right after the could not initialise error is printed), I added a return 1;. * In elotouch.c at the end, I changed the return for main to return result; (so the return status from run_driver gets passed back out) With these changes, I should be able to script around problems. Thanks, I will make these changes in my code too. I've also noticed a Checksum error on Elographics touchscreen link after the first touch, but it seems to have no effect. Yes the first packet reply from the touchscreen always has checksum errors - something in the protocol I think. Also, for your info, here is the ID printed by the program about my specific setup: Elographics touchscreen is a Intellitouch, connected through a serial link. The controller is a model E271-2200, firmware revision 1.12. Additional features: External A/D converter Z axis active (odd thing is that the controller is really a 2701RSU - maybe it IDs differently). The Z axis would be interesting to get working. Overall, it looks great! It looks like I owe you a round..

Re: [SunRay-Users] ELO Touchscreen
Hi Jon I think its good news that you managed to get the calibration to run on a laptop, it indicates to me that your touchscreen protocol is supported. I think you are having the same issues I have had previously when using Linux. I use Ubuntu 8.04, which is unsupported on Sun Ray so I thought it was related to this. OEL5 should be supported so I don't know why you are getting this problem. Can you try connecting your Sun Ray to a normal serial device such as a Cisco switch or router, then open your serial port in minicom/picocom/gtkterm ? Set baud rate to 9600, 8n1 as is standard on Cisco devices, and can you communicate to the device correctly. When using Ubuntu on a Sun Ray I get corruption of the data and weird characters on the terminal, especially after a large amount of text (eg rebooting a cisco switch). - Murray On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 11:48 PM, Jonathan C.

We have used a O-ring IUSB-9041 http://www.oring-networking.com/product/view/product_sn/96/IUSB-9041 We prefer this over the Digi as the 4 ports can be mapped to different hosts, so we use 1 USB server for 4 USB protection keys / dongles, and map each USB port to a different VM host.

Re: [SunRay-Users] Better way in getting DTU IP address
utwho is a script as well, have a read of /opt/SUNWut/bin/utwho
essentially, if you open a tcp socket to port 7010, and send 'status',
you will get all the information you need, and a lot more.
You can use perl to put it all together (each record is between a
'begin' and 'end' line). I think you want the 'terminalIPA' line for
the ip address, and 'connected=true' for connected.

Hi Wim, It's been a problem for a while now, which we were able to work around it by using the older flash version, but now sites are requiring flash 10, its starting to be noticed by our users. Given that we have Oracle Enterprise Linux (which btw is a -free- download and -free- use - it doesn't require support subscriptions if you don't want support nor does it require support subscriptions to just download) of course we are going to make sure that that's fully supported and on par with Solaris and make it easy to install/package etc... We've been using Sun Ray on Ubuntu for 3-4 years, and Sun Ray on Solaris for twice as long. Ubuntu provides a great desktop experience and is on the cutting / bleeding edge with software. Solaris is stable but sometimes lacks the latest versions and features. We use OEL for our JDE web servers, but I havn't really evaluated it for Sun Ray desktop use. I have seen a number of folks running ubuntu but that by itself is quite a bit different in terms of packaging and quite frankly work/effort but I would like to understand what in particular attracts folks to using ubuntu for sun rays. is there anything that we are missing in OEL in particular, what is it that you are looking for that's not there ? Alien handles the package conversion from rpm to deb fairly well. Packaging for Ubuntu shouldn't really be too much trouble for someone moderately skilled with packaging. As others have mentioned, the main issues with Ubuntu support is the portability of the scripts SRSS uses. That and the issues with the latest versions of GDM not working. also re ubuntu : there really are 2 ways to look at it, one is to use VDI and run ubuntu desktops with oracle vdi the other is the standard sun ray server install directly on ubuntu. first one is there today , second one is just, as I said, a lot different than supporting rhel or oel and you can do if you hack your stuff together today. I havn't played with VDI much, but our 'hacked' Sun Ray on Ubuntu environment works well for our entire company, and supports 50+ users per server on minimal hardware. virtualizing - is anyone running sun ray server virtualized ? would it help if we made full images available for download (would be for Oracle VM - btw also free download and use) that contained OEL and Sun Ray Server pre-installed and preconfigured for the standard setup ? I've only used virtualisation for testing Sun Ray, however I will be investigation using in production in future. As we run full Linux desktop environments, and not VDI I don't think virtual images would be any benefit to us. I think it would be great to see official Ubuntu support for Sun Ray. I'd also like to see a Linux release of the Sun Ray soft client. We really try to avoid running Windows wherever we can.

It is a shame because managing just two or three Linux desktop session servers for a couple of hundred users is far more efficient and easier than any of the full blown VDI solutions I've looked at. As for Adobe, it's odd that they fixed it in the 9 series. It was a problem initially, it was reported and subsequently fixed. If it was worth fixing in the 9 series, why is it not worth giving any attention to in version 10? They must have fixed it in 9 after the branch was made for the version 10 code-base, or maybe 10 started with a clean code-base.

The wireless will probably be a big help at our facility (now speaking with my TJHSST hat on) since our network engineer doesn't want to use wireless bridges for security reasons and we want to deploy Sun Rays as kiosks in places where there currently are no hardwired network drops.

Users don't care what's there, they just want to see it all work. We are actually looking at an expanded use of thin clients at the Johns Hopkins undergraduate/Homewood campus and I can say that if the new Sun Ray models can do better with video than the current generation, that will weigh heavily in favor of the Sun Ray. While I have not yet personally seen them, I have heard reports that a demo of HP thin clients (which are probably not as thin) worked well on the video front. William Yang -Original

If not, you can use a kiosk session with a prototype directory.

Create different prototype directories for accounts that need to be set up with different mandatory profile types.

I have the same problem with 4.2, the config worked OK with 4.1, and
the fonts in /etc/X11/xorg.conf are the correct path.
I think the problem is due to the 4.1 patch to SUNWut/lib/utxsun fails
completely, as the code has changed.
The code in 4.2 is:
if [ -f /etc/opt/SUNWut/X11/fontpath ] ; then
# The following awk script accumulates the fontpaths to be used
# with the -fp option to Xnewt. Comment and blank lines are
# ignored and imbedded comments are not allowed.

the fonts in /etc/X11/xorg.conf are the correct path.
I think the problem is due to the 4.1 patch to SUNWut/lib/utxsun fails
completely, as the code has changed.
The code in 4.2 is:
if [ -f /etc/opt/SUNWut/X11/fontpath ] ; then
# The following awk script accumulates the fontpaths to be used
# with the -fp option to Xnewt. Comment and blank lines are
# ignored and imbedded comments are not allowed.
FONTPATH=$($AWK '\
BEGIN { sep=; fp=; } \
/^#/ || /^[ ]*$/ { next } \
{ fp = fp sep $1; \
sep=, } \
END { print fp } \
' /etc/opt/SUNWut/X11/fontpath )
fi
So the patch below fails. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

[SunRay-Users] Loading touchscreen drivers for Sunray
I'm trying to get a working touchscreen solution for Sunrays. We have a serial based Citron IRT151 infrared touchscreen, but the drivers (which are included in Linux and OpenSolaris) are loaded via the xorg.conf I don't think the Sunray X server reads the input devices from the xorg.conf, and I would have trouble mapping serial ports etc for multiple users. I have found Trident Systems (www.tridsys.com), but they only have Solaris drivers for 3M capacitive, resistive and SAW touchscreens. From the way these drivers work, however, I can see that they are run from user-space (not loaded into the X server). This makes it easy to map the com port and X display to the driver, and run multiple instances of the driver for each session. Can anyone confirm for me that this is the way we need to get touchscreen drivers to work? If it is then we will look at getting a driver written to support the Citron Infrared touchscreen protocol, to run under Linux / Solaris. I'd really like to hear from anyone who has touchscreens running on Sunrays.

[SunRay-Users] Touchscreen configuration for Sunray
I am attempting to get a Citron IRT151 Infrared touchscreen working through a serial interface (Sunray 2 built in serial port), with an Ubuntu 8.04 Sunray server. I have a citron driver for xorg (comes with ubuntu or Solaris x86), but this needs to be loaded from the xorg.conf file.

[SunRay-Users] SRSS 4.1 10/08 on Ubuntu / Debian
Hi All
I've managed to get SRSS 4.1 working on Ubuntu 8.04.1 with Meik's procedure:
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRSS_4.1_Beta_on_Debian/unstable
Some things that changed:
* Move /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb to xkbfiles before running the Xkbinstall script
mv /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkbfiles
/bin/sh Xkbinstall41b.sh
* Remove these entire patch sections from 'Patch-SUNWut41b.txt', as
the GDM_DIR has been moved to /opt/SUNWut/lib/utgdmconfigpath
(otherwise these patchs will fail)
diff -ruN SUNWut.orig/lib/utctl.d/features/utgdmconfigctl
SUNWut/lib/utctl.d/features/utgdmconfigctl

...
diff -ruN SUNWut.orig/sbin/utinstall SUNWut/sbin/utinstall

* Patch /opt/SUNWut/lib/utgdmconfigpath in the same manner as the above were:
if [ `uname -s` = SunOS ]; then
GDM_DIR=/etc/X11/gdm/
else
#GDM_PATH=`rpm -ql gdm | grep custom.conf`
#if [ $? != 0 ]; then
# print -u2 Cannot determine GDM install directory
# exit 1;
#fi
#GDM_DIR=${GDM_PATH%%custom\.conf*}

fi
print $GDM_DIR
I'm still having trouble with 'Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter' not
starting, but 'Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin'' works.
