** Package changed: ldm (Ubuntu) => ltsp (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => Triaged ** Description changed: - Generic bug so I remember to investigate this. Apparently on some - systems the fallback doesn't happen as it should and people get an empty - session instead of unity-2d. + [rationale] + DESKTOP_SESSION isn't properly set when using the "default" session (no parameter passed to Xsession), this leads to gconf not loading the custom unity settings, resulting in just nautilus being running. - Manually selecting unity-2d works around the issue. I'll release note - this bug and investigate when I get back home. + The fix adds an Xsession.d script to both ltsp-client-core and ltsp- + server, this script parses the parameter of Xsession and sets + DESKTOP_SESSION to the expected value, similar to what lightdm does on a + regular desktop. + + [test case] + 1) Build a fat client chroot on a working LTSP system (ltsp-build-client --fat-client) + 2) Boot a 3D capable thin client + 3) Login using the default session + + 3) in the past would lead to a blank screen, with the fix, you get + unity-3d. + + [regression potential] + As far as I can tell, DESKTOP_SESSION is only used by gconf at the moment, so if the code fails, all we should get is more gconf weirdness, though I can hardly see how it could get any worse than not getting a desktop session. ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu Precise) Milestone: None => ubuntu-12.04.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to ldm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987726 Title: Unity doesn't start at all on a 3D capable machine instead of falling back to unity-2d as it should (because of lack of 16bit support in compiz).
