Meik,

Ok I am past the 22D. It turns out that Ubuntu deletes /tmp at each boot
so there was no /tmp/SUNWut directory. I tried adding

        [ ! -d /tmp/SUNWut ] && mkdir /tmp/SUNWut
        chmod 1777 /tmp/SUNWut

to /etc/init.d/zsunray-init in the start section, it works when I start
manually but not on boot (I guess /tmp must be emptied later).

Anyway then discovered /etc/default/rcS where I changed
        TMPTIME=0
to
        TMPTIME=10

Directory now stays but I seem to have to zsunray-init manually to get sun ray past 22D (nothing in auth_log)

Anyway now getting to 26D again.

On a fresh linux installation this is probably a gdm problem. SRSS is telling the gdm master process (via the gdmdynamic interface) "There is a new display for you to take care of". Then gdm forks a child gdm process which will start the Xserver and the gdmlogin greeter on this display.

You could add the two lines [debug]
Enable=true

to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to see what is going on.

OK done that, but it is huge, any tips on what I should be looking for?

(Or attach strace -f to the gdm master process)

Sorry I don't understand this. How do I do that?

Which version of gdm are you using? gdm 2.20 works for me but there might be problems with newer versions since gdm changed a lot. Downgrading gdm to 2.20 may help.

Ubuntu has a gdm.conf-custom where changes are supposed to go, it seems
there should not be a gdm.conf, but I have one, not sure what created
it. Testing indicates that contrary to the docs gdm.conf is needed and
I think changes in gdm.conf-custom are picked up even though there is a gdm.conf

I suspect there is something wrong with my gdm conf files, but have not
yet found the right thing.

Ideas welcome.

Dave
