Hi,
You will need to install a different window manager, for example MATE,
or LXDE, and then use it when logging in via LightDM, you can then set
this as the default. MATE and LXDE do not use Compiz as their backend,
so will not have the issues you are facing.
I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. I'm definitely seeing
better performance when trying different desktops. I guess I'm just
surprised that LTSP documentation doesn't emphasize how useless an
out-of-the-box install is with Ubuntu. Unity would be the default for
anyone installing
Hi Mike,
It's worth noting that quite a lot of people aren't using Ubuntu, and if
they do, they install using the 64 bit 'Server' edition of Ubuntu,
located here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
The above doesn't ship with a desktop environment, leaving people to
install their own. I
I may have just confused myself by blindly installing ubuntu-desktop
package at the same time as ltsp-server using some online LTSP
installation instructions. So perhaps I'm just misunderstanding what the
'default' setup would likely be. I always struggle with finding the best
instructions for
You have to see the right source reading, which is hard to find, but I
was aware that Alkis G and other prime movers don't much like LTSP with
Ubuntu 14.04.
Alkis' summary is (in Greek) at

I was using a Zotac ZboxSD-ID13 for my thin client which has Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics.

I added 4GB of RAM when I was troubleshooting.
I also had Firefox and Google Chrome running as local apps.
Good to know. I was aware that graphics chipsets and drivers can make a
big difference, but it's always helpful to get specific info about what
works and what doesn't.
Someone may know how to make the Intel GMA 3150 perform better via
entries in LTS.CONF or otherwise, but I myself don't have
Another easy question (I'm assuming)...
I originally installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit Server (Alternate CD) and
then I installed various desktop environments like Awesome, Xfce, MATE,
etc. Is there an advantage I'm missing out on by not installing Xubuntu,
Lubuntu, or some other flavor that

Hi Mike,

sure the backend is metacity, both are installed by default. Another

Are you sure you're not using Compiz?
Compiz is horrifically slow for us using LTSP, and isn't even slightly
usable, so instead we use either metacity or MATE.
Good luck!

How does one get rid of compiz or disable it? If I apt-get remove compiz
it will also remove ubuntu-desktop.
By the way, this is my thin-client - and I'm using the VGA connection.

Hi Harry,
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS out of the box, so I'm getting the Unity
desktop environment which I think uses compiz does it not? Perhaps I
should be trying other desktop environments such as Xfce and see if
there's better performance? I've never tried metacity or mate.

Oh and i should mention I've been running both Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04
LTS. And scrolling is one of the biggest problems. Scrolling a PDF in
either firefox or Acroread is bad, and just scrolling web pages. Waiting
for big chunks at a time.

This sounds like a video driver issue on the client.
It's probably using the default Vesa driver.
Unfortunately, I've been away from ltsp too long to remember what you need
to change it to, and how to change it.
