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 patched in, but not the
rest of the Sun Ray support, so I think using the OI-Userland sources from
before the switch to mate is your best bet.

disable lightdm and build and install the GDM packages with newer versions
than in hipster repo. There is some work, because hipster-repo has set this
packages to '--o' (obsolete)
It'd be a complete shame to have to dispose of 300+ Sunrays (including a
dozen SunRay 3+ boxes)

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 interested in
taking possession of any of them? (contact me off list)

You can use SunRay on latest Hipster if you review GDM. Mate desktop can
be used. But the Firefox 60 is a little bit slow on filling textareas or
forms.
It is like it refresh the whole page an every keystroke.

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 windows (print, "save as"
...).
I'd really like to move back to running them in the Solaris/OI world.
Do you know if it is still possible to run the SunRays on the latest
version of OI/Hipster, and if so does anyone have a guide/walkthrough?
Thanks
Jon
