The committed fix is applied too late, after xorg is loaded. So it's not 
working on the first login, but only on subsequent logins.
The `rm -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_vieux_dri.so` command should be 
run from some init-ltsp.d script instead.

A workaround that doesn't involve updating the chroot is to put this in 
lts.conf:
[Default]
RCFILE_01="rm -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_vieux_dri.so"

** Changed in: ltsp
       Status: Fix Committed => In Progress

Title:
  LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT causes firefox crashes

Status in Linux Terminal Server Project:
  In Progress
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In some cases, the default LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true is causing the 
following problems on thin clients:
   * When starting firefox, xorg crashes, without any relevant messages in 
.xsession-errors or in Xorg.log.
   * When *closing* chromium-browser, xorg crashes.

  The first of the setups where this was observed had the following
  graphics card on both the server and the clients, and had no
  proprietary drivers installed:

  # lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 
MX 440 AGP 8x] [10de:0181] (rev c1)
           Kernel driver in use: nouveau
           Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb

  That's on Ubuntu Precise, fully updated.
