SunRay

After installing SRSS we tried to setup a gnome kiosk session. There were no prototypes for this installed. After scouring the net we only found an example of something that didn't work :-(. Here is our config.

/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/gnome.conf KIOSK_SESSION_EXEC=/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/gnome/gnome-kiosk KIOSK_SESSION_LABEL="GNOME" KIOSK_SESSION_ICON= KIOSK_SESSION_DESCRIPTION="GNOME" KIOSK_SESSION_APPLAUNCHER=/opt/SUNWkio/lib/kioskapplaunch KIOSK_SESSION_PROTOTYPE=gnome KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS=/usr/bin/gnome-session

We were specifically trying to get skype to work on a sunray. We got audio working by configuring kde.

If you start kcontrol Select: Sound & Multimedia Sound System Hardware We selected Full Duplex and changed the default audio location to that of AUDIODEV (/tmp/SUNWut/dev/utaudio/ut-dsp-0 Apply the changes Then restart the application with artsdsp

[user@host]: artsdsp skype
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 753, errno = 0
volume_open: error opening /dev/mixer: No such device

After this,…

After modifying gdm.conf we noticed that Xnewt would not start properly on occassion. Xnewt was not ignoring the vt[0-9] command line option sent to X to specify a virtual console on which to run. We removed this from the command line sent to Xnewt and renamed Xnewt to Xnewt.sun

pushd /usr/X11R6/bin
mv Xnewt Xnewt.sun
echo Xnewt
#!/bin/sh

XFIX=`echo $@ |sed -e's/vt[0-9]*//'`
echo `date`: ARGS=$@ XFIX=$XFIX >>/var/log/Xnewt

exec Xnewt.sun $XFIX -fp unix/:7100
EOF
chmod 755 Xnewt
popd
