Hi
Does Debian as a distro even have desktop manager in the base sources?
By default ltsp-build-client creates chroot for thin client. Now to build
fatclient in chroot you need configuration option. with Ubuntu LTSP you use
--fatclient option
However with debian it is not available...
E.x. with debian jessie i had to use 'tasksel install gnome-desktop' on chroot.
LTSP init scripts setup the client to fat When they find local desktop session.
you don't need to configure anything on chroot after installing your desktop
On your case with lxde try first ltsp-build-client with --fat-client-desktop
lxde. it might work but if it doesn't then just install it on chroot
afterwards. Installing desktop on chroot afterwards should be somewhat normal
practice to do fat clients

Aihe: [Ltsp-discuss] no desktop manager in chroot
Hello All
On a fresh install of Debian Stretch amd64 and subsequent updating:
==========================================================================
uname -a
Linux ltsp-server 4.3.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-7 (2016-01-19)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib
non-free
aptitude install rsync xorg lxde ltsp-server-standalone dnsmasq
==========================================================================
In order to use this ltsp server to serve i386 Wheezy (which is an
older edition of Debian in order to accomodate older thin clients) I do
not use ltsp-pnp but rather create a separate chroot. However, as the
server is also running a different architecture, namely amd64, the
initial creation of
/etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf needs editing to replace all
instances of amd64 with i386.
No other config files are created. Then:
ltsp-build-client --dist=wheezy --arch=i386
creates the desired chroot (dist and arch as asked for) which includes
xorg but no desktop environment.

My question here is whether the absence of lxde constitutes grounds for
filing a bug report?
