Hi Everyone, with sadness we are closing down (most of) our labs in the UK, and we have a lot of sunrays that will be going in a skip. if anyone is available to get anywhere near to Manchester, UK, I'm happy to hand them, and possibly an HP server or 2, to a good home. Jon On Mon, 19 Aug 2019 a

I don't think upstream GDM can work - if I remember correctly it removed the multi-seat support that Sun Ray needs. It also dropped ConsoleKit to force users to systemd, and doesn't have the patches from Solaris to make Sun Ray work better. The Solaris-Userland repo has the consolekit support p

so a standard install + Mate desktop could possibly work? It'd be a complete shame to have to dispose of 300+ Sunrays (including a dozen SunRay 3+ boxes) Jon P.S. we might be closing some offices in a couple of months, and will probably be losing the SunRays if that is the case, is anyone intere

Hi everyone, we used to run our SunRays on Solaris 10, back in the day, and then moved to Centos in order to get access to updated desktop apps (firefox, chrome, wine, xrdp mostly). We obviously now have issues in that the gtk+ on Centos is ancient and causes the latest Firefox to crash for some
