Hi,

Linux 11.10 32-bit Desktop Edition with all updates installed on a Dell Inspiron laptop with 4GB RAM. Machine works well locally.

I have installed LTSP and configured according to the documentation. The installation was successful without any errors.

The LTSP client a sony vaio laptop is able to login but the desktop is without any component even the side panel is missing. Below is my lts.conf.

user@host:/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386$ more lts.conf
[default]
LDM_DIRECTX=True
LOCALDEV=True



Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

With the below lts.conf the client is not able to login, after entering the username and password, the prompt comes back to login screen!

# Global defaults for all clients
# if you refer to the local server, just use the
# "server" keyword as value
# see lts_parameters.txt for valid values
################
[default]
#X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
LOCALDEV=True
SOUND=True
NBD_SWAP=True
SYSLOG_HOST=server
#XKBLAYOUT=de
SCREEN_02=shell
SCREEN_03=shell
SCREEN_04=shell
SCREEN_05=shell
SCREEN_06=shell
SCREEN_07=ldm
# LDM_DIRECTX=True allows greater scalability and performance
# Turn this off if you want greater security instead.
LDM_DIRECTX=True
# LDM_SYSLOG=True writes to server's syslog
LDM_SYSLOG=True

I finally fixed it, got the answer from ltsp-discuss group.
The clients get a clean desktop if 'ubuntu 2d' is chosen as the preferred session at the login screen. This can be made as the default screen by adding a line in lts.conf. Hope this helps others.

Raring no longer has unity-2d. What's the solution, now, please?
