[Bug 981049] Re: LTSP needs a non-intrusive method to set a default session

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Fix released in LDM 2.2.10.

It would be better to have an option to set the default desktop session
in non-LTSP systems as well, but I don't think I can handle the
bureaucracy that would be needed to push for that. :)

Title:
  LTSP needs a non-intrusive method to set a default session

Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Currently, the default lts.conf file in Edubuntu looks like this:

  """
  # see http://edubuntu.org/documentation for more information

  [default]
    LDM_THEME=edubuntu
    LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8
    LDM_LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8
    LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"
  """

  LDM_SESSION sets the session to gnome-fallback, which is ok for a
  default, however, if Unity 2D is installed and a user selects it, the
  user will get Gnome Fallback again for subsequent logins.

  LTSP needs a lts.conf tag like LDM_DEFAULT_SESSION, where a default
  session can be specified, but when a user has something else specified
  in .dmrc it would be used instead. This does not currently exist in
  LTSP/LDM.
