Edubuntu 11.10: Unity menu don't show in thin client
 

Hi,
our loco team is currently leading a migration project in many schools.
we want to use old machines with a good edubuntu server.

Actually we have faced a little problem. After installing Edubuntu
11.10, thin client can boot but the Unity menu don't show !


So students don't have a menu application.

Any idea please ?

Regards
Zied ALAYA

Have you tried using another desktop environment?

Unless you really want to use Unity, you could also use Edubuntu 11.04,
which comes with Gnome 2.

Not yet (we will do it today with Edubuntu 10.04).

but the user expirience with Unity , for complete newebi persone, is better.

Is this a general problem or it's just our case ?
should we fill a bug with that ?

I'm not sure this was the exact problem, but we've also seen Unity
desktops without icons down the side (using 11.04). When it has
happened, I haven't had the time to diagnose it, but just switch quickly
back to gnome.

I'm not sure if 11.10 still supports it, but with 11.04 you can choose a
session before the user enters his password (click on "session" at the
bottom of the password screen).
I don't know if you can set all the clients to automatically use a
particular non-Unity session.
Good luck

Edubuntu 11.10: Unity menu don't show in thin client
 

You can add the following line to your lts.conf in 11.10 to have all
your clients use the gnome-fallback instead of unity. That is what we
use with our ltsp lab. Note: This doesn't work with a stock 11.04 install.


LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"

Add:
XKBLAYOUT=fr

to your lts.conf, this should do the trick.

http://www.ubuntu.comThanks a lot Stéphane.*that solved 50% of the problem !indeed, users need some times to write with arabic letters. So they need to change keybord layout.

But the graphic utility to change *was impossible to run (for thin client and the same for the server): no think appear.
Do we miss some thing ?Or should I fill a bug with that ?


The same problem was with the graphic utility to administrate users (but here we can prepare some script to make it easy for teachers).--
