Since the proposed patch was not accepted by the Ubuntu devs that maintain gnome-session, nor any alternative component was suggested to try to patch that instead, we didn't upload a patched gnome-session in the ts.sch.gr PPA for 12.04, it's only there for 10.04. So no point in adding the PPA in 12.04, it doesn't help with this problem.
We've developed Epoptes instead, which can shut down the LTSP clients in any Desktop Environment. If upstream Gnome and Gnobuntu don't deprecate gnome-fallback, we'll try to send a patch there, otherwise Gnome will be unusable with LTSP in the future anyway, at least for thin clients (3d/llvmpipe over the network is extremely slow, and Unity-2D support was dropped). So maybe LTSP in the future will propose XFCE/LXDE instead of Gnome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491940 Title: Patch for LTSP clients to properly reboot/shutdown Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session Please consider the following 4 lines for inclusion to debian/patch/95_dbus_request_shutdown.patch.
