[Bug 1330252] [NEW] ubuntu 14.04 ltsp-server /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40-ltsp-server DESKTOP_SESSION breaks lubuntu-desktop login

[Tero Marttila]

Public bug reported:

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04
Package: ltsp-server 5.5.1-1ubuntu2


The following code in `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40-ltsp-server` causes issues with dash `export ...` expansion as regards LP#139097 :

    DESKTOP_SESSION=$(echo $1 | sed "s/gnome-session --session=//g")

Given the following `/usr/share/xsessions/Lubuntu.desktop` :

    Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE

Attempting to login to the Lubuntu desktop session results in the
following error in `~/.xsession-errors` :

    /etc/X11/Xsession: 6: export: -s: bad variable name

Presumeably due to the `DESKTOP_SESSION` being set above breaking in
`/etc/X11/Xsession.d/70gconfd_path-on-session` :

    export MANDATORY_PATH=${GCONF_PREFIX}/${DESKTOP_SESSION}.mandatory.path
    export DEFAULTS_PATH=${GCONF_PREFIX}/${DESKTOP_SESSION}.default.path

Commenting out the culprit DESKTOP_SESSION=... assignment lets me login
to the Lubuntu desktop again.
