How do I disable pulse-audio -- I mean, will the sound still work on the thin clients, as I need the sound working? Also, do you know why the image is reversed on laptop thin clients?
One other thing, I tried what Stefan had said to backup users, and all my user info is there, but when I try to log-on as a user on a thin client, it will log-me for a second or two (it seems to recognize the user) but it spits me back out to the log-on screen. It doesn't say server didn't respond as usually is the case when a password is typed incorrectly. On another note, I tried installed 9.10 and I'm guessing this is a huge bug -- but after adding users, and I try logging in to the thin client it doesn't recognize the user at all and you can't log-in.
