My workaround for this problem is to send "halt" command to the underlying client o/s. Below are the steps needed, do in the server:
1. Chroot to the client environment: $sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 2. Define root password: #passwd 3. Install openssh server and exit from chroot: #apt-get install openssh-server #exit 4. Update the client image: $sudo ltsp-update-image 5. Create the down script: #!/bin/bash my_ip=`printenv|grep SSH_CONNECTION|sed 's/\(SSH_CONNECTION=\)\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\2/'` ssh root@$my_ip halt 6. Place a launcher on client's desktop referring to the above script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491940 Title: Patch for LTSP clients to properly reboot/shutdown Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session Please consider the following 4 lines for inclusion to debian/patch/95_dbus_request_shutdown.patch.
