I have not come across any smartcard issues during my testing.  They
seemed to have worked with no extra configuration.

Try 'rebooting' the SunRay (CTRL+"Moon") to see if it can get a login
screen.  If any changes are made to the SunRay configuration, I have
found that following these steps are the best way to reload SRSS:

sudo /etc/init.d/zsunray-init stop
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
sudo /etc/init.d/zsunray-init start

Remember to perform these either remotely (via SSH) or from a text-based
console.

Please refer to the Sun Keyboard Support section of the wiki.  The steps
are designed for Sun Type6 USB keyboards.  When you originally followed
my guide, the keyboard section may not have been there as it was the
last section I had created.

If you exit gdm, you are shutting down gdm for all users, including the
new SunRay sessions.  Best practice here is to go to the text console
via CTRL+ALT+1.

The web-based admin section may require some extra configuration on your
side.  I have only provided a sample httpd.conf if you are not using the
Apache Web Server for anything else on the SunRay server.  Perhaps
investigating the permissions on the CGI scripts directory that SunRay
uses might help.

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utinstall -u may be the command you are looking for
here.  My advice is to perform a fresh install of Ubuntu, then follow
the guide again if you are after a fresh start.

I do not think home directories have any effect on SunRay (perhaps a
stray .xmodmap or something similar) because I automount user's home
directories onto the new Ubuntu machine.

All the best.
