Bug Description

in the source package file:

ltsp-5.0.25/client/screen.d/startx

or if you rather look in your installed package:

/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/startx

on line 59 there is an if-statement lacking the actual token "if"
add "if" and things will work much better.

ltsp (5.0.26) gutsy; urgency=low

  [Oliver Grawert <email address hidden>]
  * new udeb postinst (and new template) added, fixes (LP: #121547)
    we have full progress reporting in teh installer now :)
  * added option --skipimage to ltsp-build-client to supress ltsp-update-image
    execution in d-i (we run it separately in the udeb)
  * its not an error if the port is set in inetd.conf.

  [Scott Balneaves <email address hidden>]
  * Close LP: #137461
  * added missing manpages for ltsp-update-image, and nbdrootd
  * Fix a couple of debian control issues
  * Fix bug with localdev: encrypt tunnel for X forwarding for all things.
    LDM_DIRECTX will override X, but all other communication should be
    encrypted
  * since we're zeroing /etc/hostname in the plugin, don't need to do it in
    the initramfs, add plugin to Ubuntu
  * fixing problem with hostnames not being set in the client, even if
    they're specified in dhcpd
  * Added ram limiting from old 4.2, fixed typo

  [Vagrant Cascadian <email address hidden>]
  * merged patch to set hostname from the initramfs
  * merge with scotts-gutsy, *except* keep debian logo.

Dear Olivier,

as I am a very happy end user of the result of your effort making
LTSP a viable option for everyday usage, I have taken the step
upgrading to gutsy. If you need help in testing things I am more than
willing, but, as per how things are right now, ltsp is in an unusable
state on our machines right now. So I may need some guidance.

ldm is not working with my hardware and startx is not configuring
x before trying to start the same so that option is also a no-no.

To make things clear: I am not complaining, since I can use feisty
and have a usable environment. But if you need help, I am willing
to jump in, but I am confused on where to start.

All the best,
Roland R.
