Running Lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 with LTSP-PNP, I also encountered this bug. But if I comment out the DESKTOP_SESSIONS line as above, then I can't log in to the server itself, I get a login loop. Does this workaround only work with a dedicated chroot, or did I do something wrong? -- You received

I also tried removing 40-ltsp-server altogether and updating the image. In this case the server boot succeeds, but the client boot doesn't even get as far as the login screen. After identifying the boot server IP, it fails with TFTP open timeout. So again, I'm wondering if perchance we only have

I had forgotten about the usual fix for a TFTP open timeout: in /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager, replace bind interfaces with bind dynamic. This takes care of the timeout and gets me to a login screen, but that still suffers from the login loop. I can log in to Openbox with no problem. -- You

In Lubuntu 13.10 the primary cause for this not running was an lxsession bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxsession/+bug/1309698) that preventing anything from auto-starting from /etc/xdg/autostart (where Power Manager is set to launch from). That bug was fixed in Lubuntu 14.04.1,
