Good day Alkis, I hope you are doing very well today.
With regards to the situation where users can log into the main server but cannot log into a thin client, I wanted to follow-up with what you did. After you had logged into the server and created the user LTSP using the command line (instead of Webmin) I went to the school and tested logging in as the user at a client. The user could not log in. The same issue arises -- the system seems to be loading the desktop, then it flashes back to the login screen. I was also able to activate the VT-x in the BIOS and using Virtual box, the same problem occurred. I looked in the directory of the LTSP user that you had created and I can see, after the failed login attempt the following new item: Directories: Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos Files: .cache .dbus .Xauthority .bash_history .bash_logout .bashrc .profile .xsession-errors The only one that seemed relevant was .xsession-errors. The contents of that file are: Xsession: X session started for ltsp at Fri May 19 16:50:14 EST 2017 localuser:ltsp being added to access control list openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 /etc/X11/Xsession: 3: [: x: unexpected operator Xsession: X session started for ltsp at Fri May 19 16:58:28 EST 2017 localuser:ltsp being added to access control list openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 /etc/X11/Xsession: 3: [: x: unexpected operator Searching through the logs is throwing up a lot of things because the username is LTSP! I can create a new user with a more unique name and try to search the logs again. What else could I do? Thank you!
