Is there any possibility the IP address of the server changed? Try
running:

sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys

Thin client login problem: password accepted, but no desktop (while working on the server itself)
 

I have experienced this with our LTSP on Ubuntu Gutsy machine at work as
well as my Ubuntu Gutsy machine at home (no LTSP there.)

Check contents of /tmp directory. I remove all with sudo rm -rf * .

Now, because the * wildcard made me tense, the first time I did it, I
ran rm -rf *.[extension-found]. Deleted one extension at a time to
confirm I did not mess things up. What I experienced was that I needed
to empty the /tmp directory to fix the login issue. Hence, I ended up
at sudo rm -rf * and that worked for me. (And I just did that command
a few minutes ago and it worked fine.)

Good luck.
