As we had some private communication already I knew about your move to 
ThinLinc. And to be honest, our organization (ca. 800 employees with about 200 
sunrays) has already decided to move away from the Sunray technology due to the 
bad licensing and similar technical issues you report at your blog. In fact, I 
am currently evaluating the Thinlinc technology and its potential. Our first 
tests look quite promising, but we have to do some more testing and financial 
calculations to judge if moving to ThinLinc and a different Thinclient would 
really do good for us. In the end we don't want to end at the same one way road 
which we are currently in due to the disappointing political decisions Oracle 
made with the otherwise stunning sunray technology. In our opinion, Oracle have 
to support more than their Solaris or Oracle Linux, otherwise the Sunray 
platform has definitly no future.

Nevertheless, we can't simply throw away these 200 sunrays today but have to 
keep them running for a few more years. Therefore I can only hope that I will 
be able to find a workaround for the current datastore problem I have been 
running into due to my tries to get SRS 5.3.1 running on Ubuntu 12.04. 

Have you done some more invstigation on that issue? At least I tried to copy 
the datastore binary from a 5.2.1 SRS disribution (which is running fine on 
Ubuntu 11.04) to our new 12.04 testinstallation. However, the same problem 
shows up. The datastore daemon simply refuses to load its own valid config 
file. Thus, the problem must be in some shared library the datastore daemon 
uses to parse the config file.

So any help is appreciated. At least, if I would knew that my service request 
would not simply be closed (because we are trying to install on Ubuntu) when I 
report that prolem to Oracle (we have a running support contract) would 
definitly help.

Best regards,
Jens
