Thanks. I acknowledge that the quoted statement should have been more precise (at the expense of length), as in, "According to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/lts.conf.5.html the default sound service for LTSP in Ubuntu is pulseaudio, though other choices are available. I am using the default." Just setting 'SOUND=False' in lts.conf and rebooting the thin client does not solve my problem. It does allow pulseaudio to auto-start on the LTSP server, but pulseaudio still refuses to start on the client. The short form of the transaction (in a localapps terminal on the TC): ============================================== $ pulseaudio -D E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. ============================================== (I saw the same thing before putting 'SOUND=False' into lts.conf.)
