[Bug 491940] Re: Patch for LTSP clients to properly reboot/shutdown

[Frederick J. Henderson]

I have a LTSP client that functions as a photo frame  running
gphotoframe.  I have the following in lts.conf for that client

#Laptop ethernet
[00:0*:**:**:**:**]
LIKE=Atoms
# Used to allow auto login of clients
LDM_AUTOLOGIN=false
LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT=7

# Needed for LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT to work properly
LDM_GUESTLOGIN=true

LDM_USERNAME=media
LDM_PASSWORD=*******
#SOUND=N
#Auto Shut down
SHUTDOWN_TIME=20:00:00

I believe the lines that will solve the problem of the endless loop are:

LDM_AUTOLOGIN=false
LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT=7
LDM_GUESTLOGIN=true

The LDM_LOGIN_TIMEOUT parameter makes it wait that many seconds before
automatically login in. Adjust it as you like.

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.
  Those lines make LTSP clients properly reboot/shutdown.

  
  gboolean
  gsm_manager_request_shutdown (GsmManager *manager,
                                GError    **error)

          g_debug ("GsmManager: RequestShutdown called");

          g_return_val_if_fail (GSM_IS_MANAGER (manager), FALSE);

          if (manager->priv->phase != GSM_MANAGER_PHASE_RUNNING) {

                               "RequestShutdown interface is only available during the Running phase");
                  return FALSE;
