Hi,

We attempted to install LTSP on Lubuntu 14.04 also, but ran into issues with LXDE for some reason, it wouldn't let anyone log in, due to some profile issues, the mentioned profiles are being pulled over LAN via NIS/NFS. As we were rebuilding the system in a very short time frame, our only hope was to install MATE, which lets people log in correctly, and our users are more used to, coming from GNOME.

Good luck!

After formulating idea of having 2 different version of .dmrc in $HOME I came to problem of implementing it. I sarted from copying original Lubuntu.desktop into Lubuntu-LTSP.desktop and chaning lxsession to startlubuntu in Lubuntu-LTSP.desktop. I noticed that *this configuration works for both: thin client and server UI console!!!*

Need confirmation from other people experiencing problem with Lubuntu 14.04 + LTSP.

My next step is to move to original (complex = AD driven) LTSP server and try it there.

    I copied *startlubuntu* from working Lubuntu 12.10 based LTSP
    server and used it in Lubuntu.desktop in place of lxsession This
    fix allows login!!! But as you said server will not work with this
    configuration. I plan to use separate *.desktop file for thin
    client and main GUI console of the server.

        I noticed presence of openbox.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions
        so I edited *.dmrc* in $HOME directory to read:

        [Desktop]
        Session=openbox

        Now my thin client logins!!!

        It doesn't fix the problem with lxsession but at least allows
        me localize it away from SSH. Thanks for the hint!

            Micha,

            Strangly I don't have */usr/bin/startlubuntu*... I have a
            working version of LTSP server running on Lubuntu 12.10
            (my most pleasant LTSP-experience in past 2 years) and I
            copied /user/bin/lxsession from that server to my fresh
            14.04 Lubuntu LTSP server...  it didn't help

                Ah ok i guess ive understood your problem. I got the
                same issue with lubuntu 14.04. It is a lubuntu/lightdm
                bug. I fixed it myself after i copied the lubuntu
                xsession script from lubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.

                But i guess this helps too:

                Edit "/usr/share/xsessions/Lubuntu.desktop":

                #BEGINN
                [Desktop Entry]
                # The names/descriptions should really be better
                Name=Lubuntu
                Comment=Lubuntu - Lightweight X11 desktop environment
                based on LXDE
                Comment[zh_TW]=Lubuntu - ???? X11 ????
                Comment[fi]=Lubuntu - kevyt X11-työpöytäympäristö
                Comment[ja]=Lubuntu - ??? X11 ????????
                #Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
                Exec=/usr/bin/startlubuntu
                # Icon=
                Type=Application
                #END

                --> Just copy this and save it as "Lubuntu.desktop".

                At the moment your Exec line looks like this:
                "Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE"
                You have to change it in:
                "Exec=/usr/bin/startlubuntu"

                This helped me, but be "carefull" after this changes i
                was not more able to login to desktop graphic from the
                server. But the login with each user from the
                thinclient works, dont care if local or openLDAP (in
                my case)
                If you need to administrat via gui you have to change
                back the changes.

                PS: A good admin doesnt need a gui :-D

                Best regards!

                My System:
                Lubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 Bit - Thinclients are working
                pretty well!

                I'm currently running stand alone (no AD integration)
                LTSP setup. From thin client I cannot login using
                local account.

                Thanks

                    Is your LDAP client correct configured? Could you

                    Do you have posixAccount, gidNumber, uidNumber

                    Hi All,

                    I faced some issues with a fresh kind of complex
                    LTSP setup (AD authentication, etc) on a system
                    with 2 NICs, and attempted to run as clean
                    experiment as possible. here is the description of
                    my experiment

                      * Lubuntu 14.04 virtualized in ESXi with a
                        single NIC (VMXNET 3 driver)
                      * LTSP server from package ltsp-server
                      * Virtualized thin client running on the same
                        switch(virtual). Also I tried using hardware
                        thin client -- same result.
                      * DHCP ships IP address of the LTSP server as
                        TFTP server
                      * lts.conf is not configured
                      * Network is 168.18.104.192/26
                        <http://168.18.104.192/26> (no NAT).
                      * Gateway at 168.18.104.193.
                      * LTSP server at 168.18.104.197
                      * Thin client at 168.18.104.195

                    *Symptoms*:

                      * Thin client boots via PXE and picks up LTSP
                        client image via TFTP. It shows login window
                      * I cannot login using local account (at LTSP
                        server)

                    here is the log (*/var/log/auth.log*) from SSH
                    server running on LTSP:
                    Jul 30 14:37:58 ltspt sshd[22313]: Accepted
                    password for gswcm from 168.18.104.195 port 33101 ssh2
                    Jul 30 14:37:58 ltspt sshd[22313]:
                    pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user
                    gswcm by (uid=0)
                    Jul 30 14:37:58 ltspt systemd-logind[6290]: New
                    session 1 of user gswcm.
                    Jul 30 14:38:01 ltspt sshd[22357]: *Received
                    disconnect from 168.18.104.195
                    <http://168.18.104.195>: 11: disconnected by use*r
                    Jul 30 14:38:01 ltspt sshd[22313]:
                    pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user gswcm

                    *(Detailed log with DEBUG level is attached)*

                    When I was playing with the complex setup and had
                    admin console on the thin client (created local
                    user under chroot) I was able to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and
                    login to the thin client using that local account.
                    Then I was able to SSH to LTSP server using that
                    same local account (i.e. gswcm) didn't work a
                    moment ago in GUI.

                    Looking forward to read some hints. Thanks in advance.
