Was it a completely plain install or did you touch anything afterward?

When I upgraded to gutsy I got this and needed to rebuild my ltsp
environment.  To do that you would:

	sudo mv /opt/ltsp/ /opt/ltsp-old
	sudo ltsp-build-client
	
and then try rebooting the client.  If it works, you can probably do

	sudo rm -r /opt/ltsp-old

to get rid of the old one.
