Problem:
Installed LTSP on my Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 (December 2010). Installation
succeeded wo/ any problems. Once LDM startet, only known users (before and
during installation) are able to login. Users created after said installation
aren't able to login. Even tough your sshd says all is fine with this user
(sshd[5316]: Accepted password for test from 192.168.0.22 port 41780 ssh2).
After seeing this users .xsession-errors log (located in his/hers home folder)
file I saw this line:
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on
X server localhost:11.0.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
Window manager error: Unable to open X display localhost:11.0
and I mentioned it to the freenode.net #ltsp channel and got following answer:
sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity
Worked miracles for me (after spending days of reading all kind of
stuff) LOL
No side effects. Just cool :-)
Thanks @ltspbot @alkisg from #ltsp

[12:16] <alkisg> !compiz
[12:16] <ltspbot> alkisg: "compiz" :: the default window manager in gnome is
gnome-wm, which automatically chooses compiz if it thinks that the card
supports it. Compiz is causing login problems to some clients (LP #673072). To
disable it, see !disable_compiz. To restore it, see !restore_compiz
[12:16] <alkisg> baiki: this is probably your problem ^
[12:17] <alkisg> !disable_compiz
[12:17] <ltspbot> alkisg: "disable_compiz" :: To disable compiz, try: sudo
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity
[12:17] <alkisg> baiki: try this ^^^ and if it solves your problem, mention it
in the bug report and also attach your ~/.xsession-errors there
[12:18] <alkisg> ...and your client graphics card model, with lspci -nn -k |
grep -A 2 VGA
[12:53] <alkisg> The bug report is there:

[12:55] <baiki> @alkisg: ok, will test today or tomorrow. thanks a lot!
