My workaround for this problem is to send "halt" command to the underlying client o/s. Below are the steps needed, do in the server:
1. Chroot to the client environment: $sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 2. Define root password: #passwd 3. Install openssh server and exit from chroot: #apt-get install openssh-server #exit 4. Update the client image: $sudo ltsp-update-image 5. Create the down script: #!/bin/bash my_ip=`printenv|grep SSH_CONNECTION|sed 's/\(SSH_CONNECTION=\)\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\2/'` ssh root@$my_ip halt 6. Place a launcher on client's desktop referring to the above script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491940 Title: Patch for LTSP clients to properly reboot/shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/491940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
