I'm running a edubuntu setup and absolutely abhor the unity interface. Even though I've changed the defaults to Gnome I have been unable to get a gnome session on clients.
Another problem I have is setting up a custom background. Anyone have advice?

We have LDM daily builds for Natty in the LTSP PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/+archive/daily Just cherry-picking the ldm package from that PPA in your chroot will fix the handling of LDM_SESSION so that: LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback" works as expected. The bugfix in question could certainly be backported to Natty when someone has the time to do it. I may be doing it once Oneiric is released and I get a bit of time, alternatively, if someone gives me a debdiff containing the fixes from commit 1381 to 1384, I'll be happy to review and sponsor the upload. -- St?phane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 09:42:09 -0600 From: David Burgess <[email protected]> Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] volume control To: [email protected] Message-ID: <CAKvEOQJcddruggGOWNkcMSC7=aohgfxecxdqrszepbbhw+n...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi, My server is Ubuntu 11.04 amd64.

The thin Those parameters have no effect if SOUND=False. Do you need to prevent pulseaudio from running? If not, make SOUND=True. Otherwise, a workaround would be to edit /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-common and take out the check for SOUND=True in the configure_sound_volume() function. -Gadi > client's Master volume invariably defaults to 41.

Thank you for the quick reply. I use SOUND=False because all of my thin clients use RDP exclusively. Some have no sound when pulseaudio is in use, and others show decreased CPU usage and smoother audio when I disable PA. I found another workaround that appears to work, but I will have to test it some more. Here's what I did: 1. In a running thin client, use alsamixer to increase master volume to 100%. 2. Exit alsamixer and run 'alsactl store 0' 3. Copy the thin client's /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file to the same location in the server's chroot (I used scp). 4. Do 'ltsp-update-image'. 5. Reboot the thin client. This put the master volume at 100% on the rebooted thin client. Time will tell if this method is effective and no nasty side effects. db ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 10:19:14 -0700 From: Vagrant Cascadian <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] How to set default session for ldm?

LDM_SESSION is the correct thing to use to replace your desktop session, and it sounds like you've hit a bug in a particular version of ldm that has since been fixed. alternately, i don't know if ubuntu has separate session types for unity vs. classic gnome with update-alternatives, but i'd suggest looking at what the following has to offer: sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager that's to be run on your server, and is a standard way to set the default desktop session (at least on debian derivatives, such as ubuntu). live well, vagrant ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 21:33:18 +0200 From: Dr. R?diger Kupper (Kepler-Gymnasium Freudenstadt) <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] How to set default session for ldm?

Downloading the current ldm for natty from the PPA and only that single .deb should be safe as pretty much all the commits since the last release were bugfixes. Actually, you can also use: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ldm/ldm_2.2.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb That's the current ldm from Oneiric and contains the bugfix you need. -- St?phane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:32:52 -0400 From: Gideon Romm <[email protected]> Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Resend: Thin client parts on offer To: [email protected], "Support list for open source software in schools." <[email protected]> Message-ID: <CAF=y7_fch0+z0qszvykvd4f0iswbtrqhevtqy5jiv0wqbs6...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello, all.

It will kill the mandatory screen lock if there is one. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/DisableScreenLock You might also check out gconf at sites such as: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-0.html.en I don't know much about the local media, but I think there is an entry for lts.conf regarding it.
