[Bug 819394] [NEW] Unity desktop does not start up on fat LTSP clients

[Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen]

Public bug reported:

I am currently experiencing a bug with the following system setup:

1) a Ubuntu server instance running the server edition of 11.04
2) an LTSP fat client, which bootstraps from the server
3) a virtual machine that serves the home directories for the LTSP fat client

When I specify

LDM_XSESSION="gnome-session --session=classic-gnome

in lts.conf, everything works fine. Afterwords I can start Unity by
typing "unity --replace &" in a terminal. However, without the
LDM_XSESSION variable or with

LDM_XSESSION="gnome-session --session=ubuntu",

Unity fails to load (only Nautilus and Compiz seem to be running).
