Gutsy edubuntu ltsp clients having compiz-fusion issues

[cornbread]

Binary package hint: compiz

Buckle your seatbelt for the explanation:

I have an x60 tablet that runs compiz-fusion fine with gutsy on the local installation. I have a Gutsy edubuntu ltsp server that I want my x60-tablet to use. I have gotten ltsp to run fine and my client logs in and works great as far as I can tell.

I have told my x60 thin-client to take it's previous xorg.conf setup by making a file for xorg and telling my /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf to make my client use that xorg.conf file as its own.

When I log in it properly uses my xorg.conf from my verified compiz friendly xorg.conf. After typing compiz --replace to run compiz I receive this error:

I am doing this to test my server for my office setup where I have 6 nicer computers with verified compiz-fusion friendly hardware that I would like to run compiz-fusion on via ltsp.
in #ltsp ogra and sbalneav are familiar with my scenario.

Thank you for the hard work.

Tested in Hardy - Close Confirmed.

Compiz works on LTSP clients (altho strange to set up)

It looks like the original error here is within DISPLAY=""

Compiz needs to be run like a LTSP local-app

ssh [username]@[LTSP client]
DISPLAY=":1.0" compiz --replace &

Where DISPLAY=":1.0" is set in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf as

# SCREEN_02 as DISPLAY=":1.0"
# default is ldm on SCREEN_07 as DISPLAY=":6.0"
SCREEN_02 = ldm

I hope this helps the original poster and anyone else trying to figure out how it is possible.
