Anyone tried a fresh install of SRSS 4.2 on Ubuntu 10.10? It appears

road and might steer me out of trouble :)
2.20 ought to work. Avoid 2.21 or later, however.
Do we know the nature of the 2.21 incompatibility? I'm just curious.
Despite the innocuous minor version change, GDM 2.21 was a complete
rewrite of GDM, which significantly changed architecture and brought
along several feature regressions.
One of these feature regressions is loss of support for multiple
'seats', i.e. sets of monitor and input devices. There are other changes
that also impact Sun Ray features.
Sun Rays are represented on the server as multiple full-featured seats
and require the capability to dynamically add and remove seats. Patches
(from Sun/Oracle) to implement this are available in the GDM and
ConsoleKit projects, but have not yet been accepted into the main
development line.
Note that some changes to the Sun Ray Server Software code will also be
required to make SRSS fully functional on the new GDM even with these
patches.
