CentOS is a "free" RH linux clone and will work wonderfully. I do
understand the draw to Ubuntu. It's a great distro, very user friendly.

just going to get worse but i see this for the school to be a great
system to use. I'm currectly using Ncomputing L300 and those guys
haven't got that software working correctly they need better programmers
at Ncomputing cause they have issues. There linux version of there
software isn't too bad but it still need alot of work also.
I don't know how much the license fee's are with Oracle but i bet there
not cheap..
I seen the Sunray stuff in action and i really like it. i know the Linux
OS on a medium level no expert yet. its just take time..
Well i figure it out somehow..
Thanks for all your time :)

If you've never ran utfwadm, then you've never had GUI firmware on your
Sun Rays.
You don't need a degree in computer science, but you do need to
understand that you are attempting use a Linux distribution that not
only is unsupported, but is totally different than the two distros that
are supported (RH/OEL, and SuSE). Unsupported means Oracle doesn't
develop or do QA against Ubuntu, and the instructions you are following
are a best effort by a community of users. I highly doubt your troubles
are providing any job security to the contributors of the how to guides
for unsupported distros.
If you want to see how it *should* work, install it on a supported
distribution or on Solaris. Also, have a look at the official
documentation to understand how to distribute GUI firmware.

to getthis whole thing going but i didn't know i needed a degree in
computer science just to get a linux box woking correctly with SRSS..
The other DTU i put in the sunray and i'm getting a 26B when its connect
to the server so that means its not getting the GUI..
and now for some reason i;m getting a X on my /var/log/gdm folder now
sorry you don;t have permissions to view the content. (Is it sopose to
do that)
and if so what permissions setting should i use to view the files..
i'm sorry if i sound like a dummy on this but you would think for all
the time this software been out there would be a better way of setting
it up without all the issues.
but i guess its job security for others..
I'll worrer about the other DTU later i have a working DTU but now i
have to read some error logs to see where its stoping at and the
/var/log/gdm folder has me locked out..
I thanks you guys for all your time and being patience with me and for
all the trouble :)

It depends where you are in the boot sequence whether the keyboard is
allowed or not. If the DTU can't find the server, it's a brief window
before the DTU resets and the boot sequence repeats.
I find the best work-around in this scenario is to remove the Ethernet
cable, that will halt the boot sequence where you can get to the FW GUI
if installed. Stop+V will work regardless of the firmware being the GUI
or non-GUI version, but again, has to be hit in that window of time.
If the DTU no longer has the GUI FW installed, the most likely scenario
is that the DTU was provided an option to upgrade to a later version and
that version was the non-GUI.
Randy, what utadm and what utfwadm commands did you run on your Sun Ray
Server? Do you only plan on using the GUI firmware to tell the DTU how
to find the Sun Ray Server? Even if that is the case, I'd highly
suggest using either the DNS name of sunray-config-servers.FQDN or
option 66 in DHCP so the Sun Rays know where to grab the latest firmware
from and you might be inclined to use the .parms files for the settings
you are manually enter into the DTU so they can be managed centrally.

From his description, it sounds like Stop v doesn’t work along with any
other keyboard combination.
Is it possible that somehow the FW was altered to the non-GUI version?
That would explain the symptoms.
If it’s not currently connecting to your SRS, you could configure
another Ethernet port on your SRS and hook the TC directly in via a
crossover cable and download the GUI FW that way.
Alternatively, you could configure DHCP option 49 on the TC subnet so it
automatically receives the IP of the SRS.

Hello, Anyone out here knock knock.. :) Anyone had this problem where
you can't access the GUI on the sunray 2 DTU via keyboard..
Do you have the GUI firmware on Sun Ray 2 DTU?.
What does Stop+V shows?.
Thanks
P.S.M.Swamiji
Note: These are my personal opinions, nothing to do with my employer
I can get it to reboot the DTU but any other command to gain access to
the GUI in the DTU don't work
its like the keyboard its not there but it kinda is if i can reboot the
DTU from it.
i have tryed several keyboards and to no luck why its not letting me in
the GUI in the DUT..
Its worked before now out of no where it quit.
and i can't get it to access the server cause i can't set any setting in
the DUT to make it connect to the server..
I have check every where and no no avale to find a fix for this..
